It depends.
I think most people jump around distributions (commonly known as distro-hopping) because there's this big misunderstanding that distributions != Desktop Environments.
Personally I settled many years ago with Arch - Easy, unbloated install. I install different Desktop Environments when I want to try something different.
There's also now the misconception that Debian-based = stable and Arch-based = unstable, which was true for a time but is no longer true - Bleeding-edge on Arch often means any rare bugs that come up get fixed in a matter of hours. I run Arch for literally everything at this point (servers, desktops) and it just works.
