Remember when the Linux systemd debate was heated? Now I enter in without-systemd webpage and saw this which makes me wonder. Are those arguments against systemd still valid? Are the bugs still out there? Is there still a point in not using systemd?

Any init works fine. However systemd tendrils like udev are the main issue. Now we have niggers booting their computers using systemd.

Mostly still valid. Not that it matters. The instability is still a problem I run into because they deprecated yet another thing without migrating it properly. Some things are neat though, like recently I could put a second sshd instance in a VPN as a matter of of copying a service file, not sure it would've been that easy in the old style. And the biggest pro argument (dependency based init) is also still going in favor of systemd.

My biggest day to day gripe is that it's really hard to track down why something is running a job at 2am because it's either a systemd timer, a user timer, a cronjob, or something else entirely. I can see how it ends up this way but it's still annoying.
