I have never really understood the reasons for this discussion. I am not a system administrator ( at least none of a datacenter - just for my home infrastructure, containing 3 machines ), and although I also have a distribution running on one of those ( Arch ) which is using systemd, I never realized any differences. In fact, if nobody ever told me that Arch uses systemd - I wouldn't yet know that. I am sorry if I reanimate any old discussions right now, but: Can someone tell me the advantages ( and disadvantages ) of systemd ? I'm about to leave Debian as an user - not because of systemd, but because of that discussion. The Debian distribution has actually lost 3 or 4 people. Devs, TC-Members, ... and as I said in my first phrase, I didn't ever understand why this discussion exists at all.
