I have the same feelings as you do on the package managment. It's not always so great and it was one of the reasons why I have't i stalled void on my laptop (instead opting for artix). One more thing I'd like to add is the installer, for some reason I was always confused a bit by partitioning in installers. But manual partitioning like on arch is not really a great solution as well, because for people who have never done it before it is even more confusing.
