There is no doubt some of it is the DHH spell some people are under. I find him irritating so my draw was just having an easy starting point (config-wise) into Arch.
I think my view of Fedora is pro...
They still use RPM, but the tools managing it have improved vastly. The package manger is all DNF now, including on newer versions of RHEL.
And for the majority of userspace applications, I'm either using Flatpak or AppImage which are distro agnostic.,so that's not really a fedora thing. I use them on my NixOS laptop too.
I don't have any good experience with Arch. In particular the AUR doesn't seem well executed, and I tried it after spending so much time with Gentoo overlays.
