I love dnf just for its search function, I literally cannot use apt to search for packages its so much worse than dnf in that regard.

Dnf searches take so long to run though, whereas pacman is near instant. When I moved to fedora, I seriously miss the speed of pacman

Speed is lacking, but it always gets me the results I want. I used Arch for a short time but don't remember the experience searching for packages. (I also really liked Arch's way of naming packages)
