MODERATORS
IIRC, it goes against the OG Gnu/Linux philosophy of having multiple small tools that interconnect well together. Systemd is seen as monolithic and cumbersome by some/most(?).
If someone is more connected to this debate feel free to correct me!
That's pretty much it. Systemd goes against the philosophy of "do one thing, and do it well" by doing a whole lot of things and being integrated to an extent that makes it pretty much impossible to use only an arbitrary subset of its components while replacing the rest with alternatives. I understand where the critics are coming from, but I honestly don't care either way.
