IDK. Yeah it's somehow a controversial topic. I understand how people get heated because from my position it should be obvious. But I must think the convenience somewhat outweighs the downsides if I am still using it myself, so it'd be hypocritical of me to take an aggressive tone about it.

I use systemd on my daily driver. But I can still have Alpine or Void or others in VMs and on servers, I'm grateful those projects are making the choice to not require it.
