>Linux owners, were crying when trivial initd and trivial shell scripts, which are easy to read and understand in about an hour or two, were replaced by Systemd, which may take days just to read source. Not sure I understand why you would cry about that, systemd is actually not a very complex project if you're used to low level C daemons. The most complicated part is the d-bus portions, but those are mostly a lot of boilerplate, and you should be understanding it anyway if you use a modern system with d-bus. Trivial initd and trivial shell scripts are also lacking in quite a bit of functionality compared to systemd, at least in my experience those would tend to grow until they became brittle and unmaintanable.
