Agreed. As a previous systemd hater I went there looking for an abstract, high-level argument. I got drivel instead. One compelling argument I’ve seen is that it tries to be too much which violates the Unix philosophy of small tools doing a single thing well. After years of using it I have to conclude that it’s here to stay and while not perfect it’s good enough I’m not going through the hell of tearing it out.

> I’ve seen is that it tries to be too much which violates the Unix philosophy of small tools doing a single thing well Usually the same crowd that makes this complaint about systemd also have a strong affinity to Xorg and dislike to Wayland. Xorg has a print server among many other things. Adhering to the UNIX philosophy is certainly something it does not.
