I think it's also because those people that didn't want systemd have just moved on. I moved my servers to alpine and my desktop to FreeBSD. It's just not a thing in my thoughts anymore. I wouldn't write about it. So it seems the Linux community is more aligned now. However alpine is working on a similar thing based on s6 but with modularity and lightweightness as design goals. This sounds great to me. I'm not against the idea of a service manager, but I think systemd is overreaching.

Indeed, they've either moved on or grudgingly accept it, even if they don't like it. Same thing happened with solaris, aix, hpux people who had to learn to accept linux as being the way of the world. I'm sure many people - especially developers who use OSX all the time - love systemd. That's fine, but people won't love systemd, just like solaris people learnt to accept linux. I'm also sure not everyone loves it. Some have moved on, some haven't but now tolerate it, they've spent the time to cope with it, maybe it's costing them more time every day than pre-systemd, but it's not big enough problem to move on. That's just life. I'm sure some people didn't like it when program manager was replaced by the start button in NT 4 either. It seems that systemd fanboys just can't acknowlege some people don't like their new world order, which is rather sad in itself.
