The way it's structured (combining many previously separate utilities into one) hinders competition. That's tolerable while it's still one of the best solutions for the things it does, but will become an issue in the future.
- account42 5mo agoIt's already an issue now because "best" is subjective but SystemD developers only care about their own views.
