My understanding is that most of the biggest complaints is that
systemd doesn't do things the Unix way - do one thing and do it well.
Like I said, I don't have a reason to not use it.

There were many other init system replacements in the mix before
systemd "won".  Upstart was one that Ubuntu was working on.  Further,
we still have many DEs - KDE, Gnome, xfce, etc.  Sometimes it's not
about winning.  It's having people willing to maintain it.

If you go back to the OS/2 vs Windows era, the winner isn't always
considered the best but the one that took over.  I came to linux from
OS/2.  I've kept up with OS/2 developments, and there is even a new
release by a company called Arca Noae.

I still make use of WinCE on my Workpad Z50 even tho I can run  NetBSD
on it.  Sometimes you just have to go with what works.
