The difference is that the Arch/Manjaro side takes a month or three to get from the top to the bottom of the list, not a nine months to year like Debian. 17, 18 years ago Debian taking that long didn't bother me because software wasn't released as fast as it is now. These days software evolves at a much faster rate than Debian is traditionally used to making it not a good choice for my desktop needs.
Anyhoo, that's how I view the Manjaro/Arch relationship in Debian terms. CLI-only to Fluxbox; probably won't have any issues with Arch. Use a major DE like Gnome or KDE and you'll be glad you have Manjaro's extra layer of testing involved. The more you do and use, the more testing you should want and likely need.
