What exactly do you mean? To be honest once you get past the install and getting AUR setup Arch isn't difficult outside of the rare update that if you didn't read about it in their news will come and mess things up. If you want something without training wheels then you're talking Gentoo or Slackware or even more LFS as they require even more knowledge of getting things setup and managing dependencies or other things. Arch is the nice halfway point I'd say.

My advice to you, distro bashing has been around since the inception and will continue to be. Don't take any distro bashing serious or personal. As you said a few posts above, don't encourage it, but you did just that, encouraged it. I don't take offense to people bashing Arch, I just take offense to people spreading false information or unproven rumors ( some of which is usually due to user incompetence ). But bashing alone is harmless and has been since the beginning.

It was another user asking the question about why not bash it or something to that effect. And there is slight harm to bashing as it does make some people avoid distros (especially the new comers) so they think "Oh...buntu is bad...but I can't do Arch/Debian/etc so I guess I can't do Linux." That's kind of the thing I worry about. Anyway let us just bury it.
