I kept on reading because I use OSes that have different init systems, one of which is systemd. Choice is great. Of course, your comment could be accused of being a rant too.

Choice is fine, but the perception is that "the science is settled" and systemd is objectively better; therefore if you are still a systemd refusenik you're a little bit crazy and more difficult to take seriously.

It's not but it still happens. Network effects and social proof are powerful, even amongst Linux users who consider themselves "technical".

I don't get your point, at all. I tried.
