This post (to this ML) says pretty much what I think about systemd and why I hate it: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/13967 I take these things more as a joke. It is even more extreme than to say that KDE or GNOME is eating all desktop apps. To me systemd seems

As a sysadmin, I love systemd and journald. If you want to maintain lots of disparate things and look all over the OS while troubleshooting, good for you, but systemctl and journalctl make life so much easier. Upstart is a very poor substitute. Anyway, systemd is only available on Linux kernels

FWIW we've also had problems with logging to stdout not being captured. Luckily these were all internal apps and we could fix the bug of logging to stdout instead of stderr, but IMO it's also a bug that journald didn't capture it. ~Shea On Tue, Sep 02, 2014 at 02:28:34AM +0400, Michael Raskin
