There are so many distros nowadays, it hardly seems worth creating new ones unless they provide something not available elsewhere. What's the USP of this one?

The proliferation of distros is the ruin of Linux ! believe it or not ...

Seems to be a typical Ubuntu based distro except with Arch.

Looks like an "easy", relatively dummy-proof, newbie friendly way to install Arch. With the exception of a few things e.g. theme, wallpaper, it is as what the distro claims i.e. "100% compatible with Arch". The issues may come and the learning curve gets steeper once the system is successfully installed though.

Very true statement!

If someone wants to create a distro just because he or she can, that's fine with me. Go for it, say I.

If it's good job of work, it will catch on (see SolusOS, which is a good job of work).

And, I must say, it is refreshing to see something that's not just another *buntu!

Will I try the distro someone created just because he or she could?

Maybe, probably not. But if it catches on, more power to it.
