Have you tried it lately? I installed it recently onto one of my laptops and it seems much improved since last time I looked. I went from Arch to Kubuntu on my main laptop for exactly the reasons you just mentioned, (and the fact that it's a tablet and I couldn't get the wacom stuff going for love nor money) but I'm seriously considering switching back and giving the modular xorg a go!
I'd also say I find it easier to keep it up to date than deb based systems too.

Yeah, Arch Linux and Slackware both use BSD style init rather than SysV style init. I like the simplicity too. The boot sequence in Arch Linux can be extremely fast because you can background things that don't have dependencies. I still have a copy of Arch on my drive, I do like it but - in a similar vein to the postings regarding Gentoo lately - I got a little sick of keeping it up to date and tweaking it. Arch is brilliant if you like being on the bleeding edge though. hads -- http://nicegear.co.nz New Zealand's VoIP supplier
