People always say that, yet I have experienced no "instability" whatsoever. Have you? If so, what kind? I think that it's a huge misconception that just because something is new means it's unstable. For some reason it's been drilled into people's head that the tradeoff for an updated system is an unstable one.

Before arch I was using Debian 7 for a little over a year, and I have not noticed any stability differences between the two since I switched 6 months ago.

Then you clearly never tried to run a server. However I didn't say arch was unusable, but compared to Debian it is not as stable or as reliable. I would never use Arch unless I wanted bleeding edge features. For a casual use or server use, you want features that you know will work.
