Agreed. I think the hate against him stems from him just completely dismissing POSIX and the unix philosophy. Personally, I think this is a positive direction to move in. Let's stop worrying about the design principles that happened to underlie one of the operating systems that got popular. Instead, let's keep innovating and thinking of better ways to do things. That's what Poettering is doing.
