And how is calling conservatives "weird" how you describe?
Compared to conservatives calling anything left of them "communist", calling a party backing a felon president and a vice president that can't even make small talk at a doughnut store "weird" is very fitting.
A lot of complaints I've seen is that it's bloated - it's not only a system manager but also has a DNS relay, network manager, container manager, and so on.
That said, codifying service startup and managing them with cgroups is IMO MUCH better than init scripts that think running
killall apache
is a good way to stop a service.
