I want to try Arch, and I want to try Gentoo. Next? Possibly that fork of Debian for those people that didn't want blasted systemd on their system. Though, I will tolerate it for now.
May I ask exactly what is your problem with systemd? It's only being adopted by everyone because it's better than sysvinit. (Not to presume you fall into this category) I've seen a lot of people who dismiss it because of internet hate but actually know nothing about systemd, which in urn turns more people away.
EDIT: Again, not to presume you're uneducated, but in case there are people in this thread who are, the following reddit thread is rather enlightening:
