I like systemd though :) there are many reasons.
1.- I like that GNU/Linux world is becoming more standardized. When I started
using it 2 years ago, there where a lot of init systems. Lots of default
desktops. Lots of way to distribute software. Now suddenly everything is
becoming systemd/GNOME/Wayland/Flatpak
This is so good. The power of the community is going towards making a few
things great. Instead of a lot of "good-enough"
And I don't use GNOME. I use i3.
The other options will swill exist but the defaults are gonna be really good
for the majority. Specially the new ones :)
2.- systemd has lots of great options and tools. It is not a init. It is more
than that.
It might not follow Unix philosophy. But Unix philosophy isn't a law. And it
has some flaws.
3.- It is so much faster than when I started with Ubuntu. My parabola boot
time is awesome.
