I don't know why people adopting it. I only have an option about why
distributions adapting systemd. IMO:
Fedora - because RedHat needs something enterprisey for their RHEL, and
apparently upstart in RHEL6 doesn't cut it (being pet Canonical project
and all that).
OpenSUSE - because Novell (assuming, of course, there's anybody left to
make decisions after their sellover) needs something enterprisey for
SLES, and their homegrown sysvinit doesn't cut it for some reason.
ArchLinux - because they like to ship upstream projects unmodified and
like to change things frequently. They ship GNOME - GNOME says 'use
systemd' - they ship systemd.
Did I miss some more-or-less important distribution that already moved
to systemd?
PS Not that I have anything against systemd. By the time I'll get my
hands on it (be it next Debian stable, or RHEL7) they'll sure stabilize
it somehow, write distribution-specific documentation and all that.
