100% in agreement! 
Haters gonna hate. They think dissing on someone or something makes them look cooler in the eyes of their peers.
I’ve already been noticing for at least two decades — if not longer — that cruelty is the new way of scoring street credibility points. 
To someone looking for stability instead of for “Oooh, shiny!”, the delay is a blessing. To shallow people with extreme ADHD, it is not.
I believe the word “philistines” would be appropriate in their case.
In my personal opinion, there isn’t, no, because our curation process in combination with the (from an engineering vantage) solid underpinnings of Arch is pretty unique in Distro Land.
Let me reiterate the following once again… I have been exclusively using GNU/Linux for over a quarter of a century — so I am not a l33t g4m3r or an MS-Windows refugee — and Manjaro is the distribution I’ve been running the longest now, just a couple of weeks short of 7 years, without any distro-hopping in between at all.
Have I encountered problems? Yes, I have.
KDE Plasma 5.25 was a nightmare — even KDE themselves stated that it was 'not exactly their best work." But here’s where @philm’s genius saved the day, because he immediately made it possible for those of us with Plasma 5.25 problems — i.e. about half of all Plasma users on the forum at the time — to continue using the much more stable and functional Plasma 5.24 LTS, via a separate and temporal repository.
Other than that, it has been a peachy ride, and any other niggles I’ve experienced were also mainly due to bugs in the upstream packages — i.e. the source code from the developers themselves — and were only very small issues by comparison.
Oh, and this is my production desktop machine, which has been up 24/7 ever since, only interrupted by the usual reboots after an update or the occasional power outage.
If the problem is actually located in the biological unit between the keyboard and the chair, then people should not be blaming it on Manjaro. It’s that simple.
Lastly, and again, we acknowledge @philm’s talent at putting a functional distribution together and keeping it up-to-date without too many problems for most people, and we consider him a valuable asset.
But he’s not very good as a project leader, and it is this aspect which has been manifesting itself to increasing degrees over the last couple of years. And that is why we’re now pushing for what we believe to be a much better organizational solution.
