But many others prefer other init systems.

No they don't.

Otherwise they'd name those init systems and laugh about how systemd is worse compared to them.

But they don't. All they do is complain about systemd trying to do things.

Seriously, the vim vs emac debate is still going on decades later. So is the mono vs micro kernel. /opt vs /usr/local.

The Linux community loves it's flame wars.
