And installing yaourt[1] makes using PKGBUILDs from AUR and ABS, and binary packages from the repos amazingly transparent and fast. I've never heard of such a level of flexibility on package management.
For instance, you can install the precompiled chromium from the repos with yaourt -S chromium; if you need to recompile it from ABS, throw a yaourt -Sb chromium and you are done. To install the binary build from AUR, yaourt -S chromium-browser-bin will do it.
