Arctica Greeter configuration? Alternatives?

Not really sure how to word this...

lightdm does not allow to center the login box, use gdm.

Yeah I saw that searching before I decided to post the question.

I have already changed the wallpaper, it's not a big deal. Is there a reason why GDM is not used by the distro? I am leery of changing it only to find out I borked my system.

For the lightdm display manager, at least lightdm-gtk-greeter was configurable and allowed to move login box.
