Linux power-users hate it when a tool tries to become a platform.
It breaks the principle of single responsibility and becomes a threat to the evolution of alternatives.
It's pros and cons. Having a platform is better because everyone works together on a single effort. But it also becomes a risk because now everyone depends on a single thing that does too much.
I can't agree with this comment more.
A lot of Unix philosophy, at least in the early days, was KISS. Keep it simple stupid.
Lots of interlocking components, doing one thing, doing it well.
Systemd turns that philosophy on its head.
