I think Tomás is perfectly aware of that, and quoted that argument from
systemd opponents without making it his own.

But you raise an interesting point. The people who invoke that argument
do not realize that they are already experts, "priests", of the shell
scripting language.

I think that explains some of the most vocal systemd opposition: systemd
aims to get rid of the scoriae of the past, but since it is IMHO
somewhat over-engineered, it has a learning curve that is rather steep
at the beginning. People who painstakingly learned the specifics of
shell scripts and init scripts are afraid that their skill will lose
value or become obsolete and they will need to start again.
