This is such an excellent example of how to actually approach what you don't like about another project. It also has the potential of actually being really useful (despite the name): there are lots of _good_ bits in systemd which are o

Seems quite like it could be a bitter ex-employee (or soon-to-be-ex-employee), from the tone. The linked Glassdoor review seems more balanced: http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-Grooveshark... - if still
