I use arch and still despise it. The reduced boot time isn't worth the headache the overly complex systemd suit of tools has introduced. BSD might have some issues, but it worked very well for my use-cases.

To me systemd is not the reduced boot time but the simplified service management.

To me, as an Arch user, sytemd has been responsible for a series of btrfs kernel panics. I'll probably switch to Gentoo just to not have to deal with working around journald the next time I have a choice of distribution.

No, it's not. Just because you use Fedora or Arch doesn't imply that you aggressively support every architectural choice that they have made.
