I don't get the systemd hate. Especially "it's

This looks like bait, but on the off chance it's not:

- Bloat. Systemd is bleeding all over the system of Linux, even encroaching on the kernel.
- Compliance. Systemd breaks Posix compliance. This isn't a huge deal if you don't agree with Posix, but you need to mitigate the detriment of not having such a strong standard.
- Security. Homogeneity and feature creep make potential bugs not only more likely to exist, but make the exploitation of these bugs catastrophic.

I like systemd just fine. It works better than the bug ridden collection of ancient shell scripts we had before. It's easy to write a service file to start daemons at boot and automatically get features like auto-restarting crashed processes. You don't need 100 lines of boilerplate like in an init script.

People who don't like it are either (1) old and opposed to any change, or (2) easily influenced by propaganda. Obviously the people doing the actual development work like systemd, or they wouldn't have integrated it into our distros.

Hating what's popular makes you special, and if it's something involving technology it makes you knowledgeable. No matter what it is, just say that it's shit and you'll feel like a tech guru soon enough.

Because it does more than one thing at once. The Unix philosophy protects traditional Unix values

It's about choice.

The problem isn't systemd, the problem is arbitrary pieces of software depending on it for no good reason.

This is why.

Lennart Poettering.

If anyone else had done the exact same thing, it wouldn't have gotten nearly the shit that it did.

Partly that's because people hate him. Partly that's because people perceive what he's doing to be making mainstream Linux into a 'one true way' monoculture that benefits Red Hat, and systemd as a means unto that end.

I actually like systemd, but I understand why, because Lennart really is the kind of total cunt that gives open source a bad name, like the legendary NSA/Goldman Sachs employee Ulrich Drepper.

Too much danger of depending on it and the developers can come out with a hidden agenda to make RedHat and a few selected companies to control over a cascade of dependency which you can't escape if they decide to put a backdoor in the end.

TL;DR: is a vendor lock-in nightmare in the coming.
