I can't overtly fault the logic in that blog post for the most part. However he does still basically toe the "Unix philosophy" line (Talking about modularity and such.) The thing that bothers me most about this document though is how he dismisses systemd's legitimate, if not unique, features as "propaganda." He also tends to talk about flaws in how systemd is written but doesn't seem to explain that, go into rants about Poettering not long after dismissing one of the common statements being "you just hate systemd because Poeterring," etc. I must be that rare breed of systemd supporter who actually actively DISLIKES Poettering. When he started Pulseaudio and it started breaking everyone's sound, he went into a mantra of "ALSA's broken" instead, despite the fact ALSA, even standalone, worked just fine without PA. That said I now use Pulseaudio, because once it matured it stopped breaking sound as much. I'm not a fan of how it demands to "own" all sound on the system, but I can get over that. Add point 5, though, to the typical anti-systemd rants when boiled down: 5: I hate Lennart Poeterring.
