EOS has gained something of a reputation (in a good way) for being right up there as one of the best distros out there. I donāt agree with Chris Titus that any that arenāt pure-Arch are pointless, - some of us have lives to live, and just need things to work. EOS smoothens so many time-sinks and rough edges, I absolutely wouldnāt be running Arch if my only option was to run it pure.
To quantify that, Iāve run Arch in the past, I have it down to 12 mins to get a system up and running, but itās the post-install madness of having to hunt down exactly what components arenāt there, from blatantly obvious things, to edge-cases, that adds a few more hours that I donāt have. EOS wins because itās actually sane, reasonable, and unapologetically helpful. Hereās to many more years on the Purple Side!

This.
I once did install of pure-Arch to old laptop and it did run just fine and I was able to follow instructions.
Before jumping to EOS I tried to install Arch, but because of unclear instructions, wiki assuming that I know all the ropes and all other dumb things I decided that there must be a easier way and thatās how I found EOS.
I may be just crazy, but in my opinion wiki was much more āfriendlierā before.

Arch is just Arch. EOS is Purple Arch. There is no pure Arch ā¦ only vanilla.

Seems Iāve spent far too much time giving various other distros (Arch-based, et al) a serious try only to wind up crying.
But since installing EOS (now on up to four machines running throughout the day for years now), Iāve never regretted it for a moment. And because itās free, I can afford to make occasional donations to various folks who do some lifting on our collective behalf.
Between the robust nature of EOS, the choices offered as to how to set things up, and its first class community forum, itās hard to imagine a better way to run Linux. Beats decades stuck with Win and Mac - hands down.

Yeah not surprising EndeavourOS is the BEST Linux DISTRO!
Not one of the best, THE BEST! ! 
It made Arch easy! For everyone!
And also the only OS, Linux distro i ever given money to! (no Windows donāt count you were forced to pay for that crap! 
for years!)

In general, Iāve noticed that Chris is just not interested in Linux anymore and has moved back to Windows. Alongside that, if I remember correctly, in his tier list, most distros land in the āuselessā category simply because theyāre most are based on Debian or Arch. Unless they are independent and do something completely new and different, he considers them useless and boring, which, in my opinion, is just an incomplete image of the entire ecosystem.

Having used EndeavourOS for several months now, I can say that itās no real surprise to me.

Well deserved! Absolute beast of a daily-driver distro we have here. <3
