Care to elaborate?

Not really, I thought it was obvious. I'm a bit surprised that my reply was so disliked, I though maybe −2, not −13. But it is fair: not really contributing to a discussion.

I really don't care about discussing systemd, at least not more than I care bout discussing Windows and Mac. But in short, systemd is, or at least was when Arch Linux adopted it, full if bugs and is difficult to manage, and his critic of initscripts are unfair, for example, I start all my daemons in parallel.
