The reason why systemd has become so prevalent is not that it has been accepted by the community. It’s that it has manpower. It is backed up by open source software companies that can provide much more manpower than developers like myself working on free software on their own time.
Sure but that is most open source programs. It is not the hacker doing it in their spare time. The majority of open source devs are working for a company getting paid to program it.
People have to eat.
TLDR
But also it has been accepted by the “community”, by and large.
Yeah. I like systemd. This guy is just bitter and adverse to change.
That’s the real reason honestly.
I mean, what is his point? We should have worse software because then the devs are volunteers?
Is Linux now supposed to work like early Olympics?
Explain how other init systems are necessarily worse than systemd
I would go as far to say that it has been embraced

And that it is better on many levels
