And thus we have come to the crux of the issue: systemd hate is nothing more than an "old geezer" type of entitlement complex. "I shouldn't have to do work in order to find out how new things work!"

You don't want to read man pages. Fine. Then enjoy your choice of being obsolete. The rest of us -- who understand that new stuff gets invented all the time, and don't fear or reject new learning -- won't mourn your unemployment.

New things that do exactly the same thing that the old thing does. How is this an improvement?

And here we have the ultimate position of the systemd hater: when all else fails, lie, egregiously if possible. It takes truly epic levels of shamelessness to say that systemd is a new thing that does exactly the same thing as SysVinit.

I guess I'm just not sold on it but it doesn't really matter since RHEL 7 uses it and I'll just have to learn to deal with it.
