Arch was one of the first to switch and while a decent number use gnome I sincerely doubt they made the choice because of gnome. Arch has a long history of alternative WM/DE It's not likely any individual one could force their hand on an architecture change like systemd.

The Arch switch was a decree from on high as best i can tell, with a very "deal with it" style forum posting. And i think at least one Arch offshot is not adopting systemd at this time.

  that's the arch style "deal with it". i run it on several machines but that's always the feeling i got from the arch devs.

  Actually, the Arch devs said that if anyone stepped up and maintained the sysv scripts it would continue to be officially supported, no one did, and that was that.
