Not really sure how archinstall factors in since it wasn’t around yet when I first installed, but I love EndeavourOS. I’ve installed arch before, but I really can’t be bothered if I’m just going to end up installing all of the same packages the GUI could give me in less time anyway. Yeah, EndeavourOS is just arch with some small extra packages and a GUI installer, but that’s exactly why I like it.
Archinstall is not at all newbie friendly, especially compared to calamares and endeavourOS setup. Also, having a usblive is very convenient in case of problems.
If you don’t have advanced knowledge nor want to customize it very thoroughly, I don’t see any reason to use arch over endeavourOS. I mean, other than the fun of experimenting with the innards of linux, testing your frustration tolerance, and ending up being able to say “I use arch BTW”.

I feel exactly the same! I installed EndeavorOS because I liked the default theme lmao
