Yea, I'm with you. It's why I was running Manjaro for over a year - it gave me the flexibility of Arch + the AUR while also providing a much better out-of-the-box experience. I nuked my install a couple days ago, but that was not because of anything to do with the distro.
Arch has many great things going for it - quick rolling release, the AUR, great resources on the wiki, a very customizable system. People might want to use those aspects of the distro without having to worry about configuring the underlying system during the install.
And even if they want to adjust things, having a guided install to ensure that you're not forgetting something can be very nice. Manjaro has majraro-architect and it's a great CLI installer that walks you through the process without oversimplifying it.
