It seems like it is quite fashionable to hate on systemd, and it seems like systemd is kindof a piece of crap - in some ways.
However, linux is missing basic functionality other os's offer, and systemd is showing up and trying to fill in those blanks. This is open source, if you don't like systemd, if you think it's crap, if you think there are obviously better ways to do it, well, what are you waiting for then?
Systemd is winning because they showed up and basically nobody else did. It's open source fork it and 'do it right'. Or point out the problems and hope that someone else will step up instead?
I think the world would better place if people spent less time griping and more time fighting to get their patch that fixes the problems merged. I guess coding is harder than writing blog posts though.
EDIT: I'm not saying systemd is perfect or even good. My point is that the people writing the code are going to have the final say, whether it's right or wrong, and it is unlikely that people writing blog posts lampooning it are really going to make a difference. I mean systemd has been despised and highly criticized from the beginning, and look where we are.
