Maybe it’s not so great how monolithic systemd is, but it has brought a lot of great functionality to the Linux world. Not as if Linux has ever been married to the Unix philosophy anyways.
I think for those people it boils down to systemd being an init system that does more than an init system maybe should. Combine that with it being more complicated to work with and with Redhat not really being that open to feedback.
The funny thing is that the init part is working really really well. At least from a user perspective. Writing a unit file is soooo much easier than writing an init script. You just point it at the executable of your service and are done. Systemd does the complicated rest.
There are only 2 types of people. Who hate systemd and those who don’t know what systemd is. \s

for my mundane tasks, i don’t notice much complication. what makes it more complicated to work with?
