I've been using Linux Mint since forever. I've never felt a reason to change. But I'm interested in what persuaded others to move.

Why do you think you need to update packages on Arch every single day?
It was just a bit of hyperbole, I don't actually mean every single day. I mean if you don't keep Arch up-to-date on a regular basis, packages tend to break, and then you need to re-install the OS or jump through a few hoops to repair the broken packages and their dependencies. Diligent regular updates is not a terrible mental burden, but a burden none-the-less, so using point release OS like Mint or Ubuntu are just easier.
Rolling releases aren't a problem for computers that are always on, you can automate the software updates. But for computers that sometimes get put in a closet for a bit and then taken back out, the operating system stops working after a software update.
