This is the thing people tend to miss, I think. There are a large number of people who don't like GNOME/KDE/Unity/whatever but who also don't want to take the time and effort to assemble the whole thing from pieces. I did the same thing with Arch, as well as with Void Linux. Void, in particular, is a distro I find very interesting and would like to use, but the hours I would spend making a usable desktop for myself (assuming I would even succeed, and prior experience has shown that not to be the case) are better spent elsewhere.
