The AUR is not the standard arch package repository and arch as a distro shouldn't be judged by it's merits or dangers. Yes, obviously a rolling release distro is not the best fit for most people, but that's beside the point. Debian is completely fine for people who are looking to replace their windows machine with something stable and don't need ton of exotic software or especially recent packages.
