The good people over at Infoworld have published a story outlining why they feel systemd is a disaster.

Excerpt from Infoworld:

While systemd has succeeded in its original goals, it's not stopping there. systemd is becoming the Svchost of Linux—which I don't think most Linux folks want. You see, systemd is growing, like wildfire, well outside the bounds of enhancing the Linux boot experience. systemd wants to control most, if not all, of the fundamental functional aspects of a Linux system—from authentication to mounting shares to network configuration to syslog to cron. It wants to do so as essentially a monolithic entity that obscures what's happening behind the scenes.

    What the hell do systemd/GNOME 3 have to do with whether a person's autistic or not?

    Oh, I see, you meant that "I disagree with what these developers did, so I decided to call them 'autistic' to show how much I hate them, since it's not considered cool to say they're girls, black or gay anymore."

    You can make your point without referring to other 'kinds' of people as a slur -- please do so.
