Poorly-designed, poorly-implemented, half-baked ideas, legendary feature creep that presents a corollary to Zawinsky's Law, awful developers, clear political agendas in the devteam, Embrace-Extend-Extinguish tactics, against the basic UNIX concept of "many small apps that do one thing and do it well", an informal adoption of Windows service/logging techniques, political lobbying by the developers, and a literal RPC-based backdoor into the enforceability of the GPL.

- ilwtekuysd 9y agoSome of the 4chan people trolling about systemd try to make people believe that communicating over tcp sockets, pipes or dbus with other processes is a "backdoor" around the GPL. Because a non-free program could talk to a GPL progam. Shocking!
