My query was different: whether I would shift out of Debian to Arch?
It highly depends on your activities. They are quite different.
It is not the case when similar questions causing flames and holy wars
when general recommendation is to install the same distribution as your
friends use, so you can ask their for help.
If CPU performance, amount of RAM, and size of disk allows it, try to
install Arch in a virtual machine to get an impression. I would not
recommend Arch to inexperienced users (I have never tried its flavors
aimed to be more friendly).
However, any case, do not neglect docs from ArchLinux wiki (and from
RedHat, SuSe, etc. sites as well). Just have in mind which parts are
distribution agnostic, where important ideas are explained with examples
specific to particular distributions, what instruction are not
applicable to your case.
Debian, Fedora, RedHat, Ubuntu have quite rich package scripts. Similar
aspects of ArchLinux configuration are left to users. What is
implemented as e.g. a shell script in Debian, must be explained to Arch
users in prose. It is a reason why ArchLinux has so detailed wiki.
