To me a lot of the anti-systemd response here seems to be a purely
gut-driven emotional response. I realize that what kind of preferences
we have in the software we want to use has a large emotional component.
For example, I don't think you can put my opinion of GNOME into purely
technical terms.[3] So I don't think that it's a bad thing for people
to
say "I am emotionally attached to sysvinit and want to keep using it",
but to rant against a dependency on something that DOES NOT PREVENT YOU
from doing so, doesn't seem to be a very rational way of going about
things to me.
