I honestly didn't like Antergos overly much. It installed too much of their own packages instead of just being an easy installer for Arch. Although with Anarchy in limbo and non-functional (I'm pretty certain at some point they'll announce they've discontinued, although could just set in limbo until they get moved to discontinued automatically, that certainly does cut down on the number of good Arch installers.

In their farewell comments they recommended their users to move to Manjaro.

Yeah, I saw that. Manjaro is a true distro. It's not a Arch installer, it is to Arch as Ubuntu is to Debian. Yes, they sync the Arch repos to create their test repos, but they do NOT use the Arch repos directly.
