Simple and effective like a bulldozer. I've been using KDE version on an older laptop without any problems for over a month now. On a newer laptop I've encountered some problems, but mostly it works fine there too. I like this distro almost as much as Manjaro (my #1 distro).
Pros
• It's Arch • Easy to install • Almost none of the bloat* • Active developer/maintainer • Author is a nice gentleman *bloat to me, for example, is Filezilla and printer support
Cons
• Beeping sounds in Grub and while Powering Off • A bit hard to troubleshoot when it comes to laptop compatibility (very rare occurence, I get it). For example, I have a Lenovo Legion 5 (2020) laptop with AMD and a dedicated NVIDIA graphics card and an external monitor. Connecting the monitor and getting the image to be displayed is not a trivial task on any arch distro in my experience. For me it doesn't work here too.

Very nice Project! I love the simplicity and that fact one can add or delete what one needs. I love your attitude about what it is, is what it is. You may not have a large contingent of programmers behind you, but your efforts are to be commended. Thank you.
Pros
Simple and easy to install. My hardware performs beautiful with EZArcher.
Cons
None so far, but the effort to make it perform the way I want is on me.(enduser).

Very nice. Glad you are continuing with this project eznix.
Pros
Pure arch in an easy to install manner, doesn't try to be a distro.
Cons
The install script can have an option to install an aur helper (sorry if i missed it if it is present)

One of the best if not the greatest Arch linux respin. It's currently my no.1 on the list and Xfce is my go to DE. After the years of using Windows, as my family wanted that + requirement of using MS Office and other stuff, i decided to buy a separate PC for myself and finally could go back to my beloved linux. I have been always a Debian kind of guy and have been always returning to it (I've been a distro hopper), but once i tried Eznix's Arch respin, Arch is my favourite now :-) Well done
Pros
Minimalistic, 'no nonsense' philosophy, not bloated, but on the other side really well thought selection of packages, libs, codecs, etc. Probably 1st distro, which I can use without any modifications out of the box. Great installation script (which I'm currently trying to modify to suit my needs - I'm not a programmer and learning while doing, so we will see what will come out from this. Love the fact that Eznix is providing manuals on his YT channel, all scripts are also available, so anyone can modify it to his/her needs. I probably should to mention that as a first pros but love the fact that Calamares installer is included - now you can say 'I'm using Arch, BTW...' without the hassle of trying to install it the Arch way ;)
Cons
It's not really a con, but i believe that things like for example Libreoffice could be included out of the box, but it's just my thought. I know Eznix's point of view about AUR, but I started playing with window managers and many of required programs like for example polybar, lemonbar, drivers for my kids graphical tablets, etc. are only available through through the AUR, so it also would be nice touch to have paru or yay installed out of the box, but again it's what I need and Eznix is saying : modify it to your needs :)

Number one: all spins stay very close to the core Arch install. No fluff, just works out of the box, with Calamares. The templates are a real gem: with some basic editing you can add your own packages, delete some of eznix's and create your own custom iso. Excellent!
Pros
Close to the core, no fluff. Sensible selection of some extra software. And addition of useful maintenance software. Completely ready scripts that anyone can easily edit for custom tweaking and build your own iso. No AUR helper, but a simple git clone gets you that.
Cons
None
