OBS and COPR don’t even come close to the AUR in terms of ease of use. AUR is one searchable index, OBS and COPR are more like separate repositories that you have to find and add manually. There’s multiple people building the same packages and you have to figure out which one you want to rely on. You also can’t easily edit the packaging instructions and rebuild a package if it doesn’t work for you.

There’s opi which does the whole search-and-add-repos thing for you, for OBS. Not sure if there’s something similar for COPR.
It’s still separate repositories, though, I’ll grant you that.
That’s true. A more user friendly version of them would be awesome.
