Look, I come to hacker news to agree to disagree. If you like systemd than great but as far as I'm concerned it's still a moving target, does way more than replace the init system, uses binary where traditional Unix uses text and in general inserts itself into way too many things for me to be comfortable with it.
Smarter people than me have done a great job of debating both sides of the issue and it looks like systemd has won. That doesn't mean I have to like it and thankfully I can fall back to using OpenBSD since I want a Unix that looks and feels like the Unix I've been using my whole career.
I don't care if you disagree with me but please don't assume that I "don't even know the tenets of unix philosphy" becuase I happen to view systemd in a way that you apparently do not. If all the major distributions are going with systemd than OK, but the beauty of free software is that I have choices and I've made mine.
