I switched to it not even three months ago, after two years on arch and I'm not going back. Just as if not more configurable than arch and it's actually harder to bloat with something and then forget about it, since you always have user-readable description of your current system.
Although, it's possible to bloat it unknowingly: networkmanager, for example, depends on a few VPNs noone would ever need, and one of them depends on webkitgtk, so you actually have to mkForce modules to include only the necessary stuff. Not like that's a huge issue, but I wasn't amused when I saw "building webkitgtk" while cross-compiling 😆
It goes to the question "geek?" Which then can be answered as "hobbyist" or "yes", but the half circle makes it weird. That's how I read it, but if you choose hobbyist you indeed get into an argument of "WHAT AM I?"
Edit: oh, the yes and no are UNDER the question if you've used Linux. The No on the left comes from another branch. Pfff, just woke up, now I even see you said exactly that. I need coffee....
