Actually I'm an Archlinux fan but I haven't yet encountered any software targeted at ubuntu that wouldn't work on archlinux too (with some work from repackagers, but as a company you don't have to do it because people who want to use it on an "unsupported" system will). It's just another linux and everything can be ported from it if necessary. Even unity would work fine, once ubuntu's patched x.org and libindicator were on Archlinux. As far as I know ubuntu has been the the most popular (for targetting software) distribution for several years now, so why not?
