One of them. The others didn't work out so well. That's a curiosity in and of itself.
> A lot of people claim the same, but the proof is in the real life pudding.
Those claims are true. Those systems exist. People use them. Every day. I've got tons of business riding on them. Systemd's defaults are simply a non starter for any real production environment.
> Don't forget that geeks idealize perfection and especially minimalist perfection.
They prefer a system which leaves the options open. Systemd removes them in the name of simplistic cohesion. It's all based on the flawed idea that linux will ever be a popular desktop operating system if you just make it work like windows does.
It misses the point on what computing is entirely, but hey, as long as it's "complete" implementation of this flawed vision I guess that's good enough for some people. And yet we're still no where near windows.
