What AUR helper do you use?

You are also free to point out your pros/cons for any of the above mentioned AUR helper.

I use Trizen because the default for editing annex files is N, this makes it the fastest, also it has a very customizable config.

Paru is probably the easiest to use and i'll recommend this for beginners.

Yay is not longer developed IIRC? It's been back in business for a good while, nice!

Yaourtix i think it's still maintained, can you edit the poll?

Pikaur is python script, pacaur is shell script, never heard of the former, seem interesting.

:)

yay for no better reason than it was the next one I tried after yaourt was declared dead and it worked ok for my needs.

pikaur is not bad, works well for me and is fairly often updated.

I don't use any packages at all from the AUR.

I switched from yay to paru recently, because yay kept synchronizing repos more than twice for me. Paru is not free of issues but better.

None at all. I only need curl and mkchrootpkg.
