I've been through Redhat, Gentoo, Fedora, Ubuntu, Suse, OSX, and Arch over the past decade. Arch seems to be where I'm staying for a long time, for a few reasons. First, it is a great distro for tinkering. I (obviously -- by my list) enjoy shaking things up and trying out new things, and Arch doesn't get in the way of doing so. Neither does Gentoo, but the compiling does get old after a while. Second, I really enjoy the rolling-release system. It is nice to spend a few minutes every day updating the system to the latest & greatest rather than going through the 'big upgrade' every six months or so. Finally, I feel like I'm the target market for Arch. OSX and Ubuntu are more general computing platforms. They are certainly usable, elegant, and outstrip my Arch/i3 setup for multimedia. But they don't scratch my particular itch. Arch does, and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.
