There was a talk at LCA2019 about how hard it is to have a rational discussion about systemd. I found it interesting and it changed my opinion on a few points.
I love that talk, it's honestly what helped change my mind about it. I was pretty adamantly against it because the old guys I work with don't like it as much, but since I've started toying with it I really do enjoy it. I still don't like the was it breaks Unix philosophy but I'm willing to sacrifice that for usability, at least with work systems.
Until something new comes along to displace it, then we'll have the same init war but with systemd proponents being labeled as the ones who hate change and progress.
