Not a hater of systemd per se, sometimes it's annoying but to me it's eh whatever

But the root issue, is it violates the ancient GNU/Linux philosophy of making one tool do one thing and having it do that one thing very well. If you need to do complicated things, then you make multiple tools in a way that you can chain them to accomplish those tasks

It's why the core tools of linux: awk, grep, cat, sort etc are the way that they are

SystemD violates this by being, well, everything. It's now handling networking and daemons and boot and a myriad of other things hence the meme

Whether you see this as a good, bad or neutral thing depends on how closely you follow the tool philosophy
