   You're looking at it from almost an 'ideological' perspective.
   Most see it from a 'practical' perspective - and a "pain-v-gain"
   equation is part of that. I'm not a "linux hobbyist", I make it
   work for a living. Systemd makes some annoying things a lot
   easier. I'm not going to write a word-processor every time I need
   to write a letter - somebody else did it for me.

   My main complaint about it is that the writers are *too
   ambitious*,...trying to cram too many functions into the
   thing. It becomes very difficult to debug something like
   that and soon even the writers lose track of how it all
   works, how tweaking 'X' affects 'Y'. This is where Winders
   went bad (well, ONE of the reasons it went bad).

   Systemd-less is, at present, more of a *reaction* than than
   a clear statement of need. Prove a need, prove the rationale.

   IF there are clear advantages to init.d then writers and distro
   creators WILL provide systemd-less systems long-term. I do not
   think that is going to happen however ....

   Sorry, that's just how I see it.
