This whole systemd thing looks awfully like the switch from a hosts file
to DNS so many years ago.
Not really. What many people bothers about systemd is that it is getting
more and more
a) a hard dependancy for software projects, e.g. like GNOME, although
there's no such thing like systemd e.g. on FreeBSD, (MATE instead tries
to be init system agnostic), making it harder to port
and
b) that systemd seems to be on a track to reinvent the wheel or so more
and more.
They are really working on their own DHCP server and client at the
moment, also their own NTP client. Some people coined the term
Lennartware for it, because it's from Lennart Poettering, like also
pulseaudio and avahi.
Some people are already joking that it wants to become the next Emacs.
Even Linus Torvalds himself ranted about the attitude of systemd's
developers at the beginning of May this year.
