Apart from being an independent systemd-free distro, it is a lot more stable than Arch, as updates are checked rather than just being rushed out, while still being rolling-release.
And unlike Arch, you get a full GUI in your live environment. Installing is a lot more easy and straightforward.

I think an increasing number of people feel much the same. Sadly systemd has resulted in the already understaffed Debian forking, plus there are a handful of other systemd-free distros, some Debian based such as MX and antiX. It's becoming a divide and conquer situation.

I recently started a Hetzner account and am really impressed by their prices. Linode and vultr are way more expensive. What I miss though is support for BSD and systemd-free servers. Anyone know if they support custom isos?

If you don't understand the fuss over systemd (and want to), just read the wiki article.
If you want rigorous security, you need to find an OS free of systemd.
For me, it is the next step of my security journey.
