    Having to occasionally go back to OpenRC or Upstart systems is jarring. Systemd just does so much and does it so much better. Poettering seems like a bit of a chode but he genuinely made an incredible project. I also think that when people say systemd isn’t Unix-like, they forget that systemd isn’t monolithic and it’s possible to use some components of it but not others. The core is all based on a standardized way to start and manage processes and services, be it for boot or usage.
