I actually like it
I'm actually encouraged to update often because if I don't, the updates keep accumulating and I end up with 200+ apps and dependencies that require such updates. Not that I'm affected or anything, I don't even need to re-start my machine, and pacman works in the background. So, It's been a positive experience over all. So yay! Updates!
