    systemd, not SystemD. All of the major distros have it. Its nothing really unusual as Ubuntu had upstart for many years. systemd has allowed standardization between the distros and avoiding duplication of effort. You can use system v init scripts on systemd, so it does not take away any functionality from you.

    "All of the major distros have it."

    Everyone does it, so it must be good? That argument doesn't really pass here -- this site's very existence is rooted in rebellion against that concept, as someone with sucha a low UID should know :)
