Just a heads up to those who haven't seen this yet. The main author of systemd publicly wrote about being basically persecuted.

But oddly, he didn't even mention that there would be a real simple solution - just add backwards-compatible improvements instead of actively wrecking the interfaces everyone else had depended on for decades.
"decades". That, by itself, already calls for an update, no?
Why? Do you ride a bicycle differently, or drive differently, than you did say, 20 years ago? You went out and bought a recumbent, or an electric car?
While we're at it, can you tell me how much better a brand new microwave, with 20 touch-buttons for misguessing how long to cook something, is better than the old microwave I used to have that had a "cook/defrost" dial, and a timer dial? <snip>
Like for firewalld and systemd, as they were already mentioned in here. It's hard _just because_ it's different. But wait, wasn't iptables different from ipchains? And is nftables going to be as the same as iptables? No, of course not. There are features in nftables that you can't put into iptables cleanly, so you need a new workflow on it.
Actually, I struggled with ipchains, and found iptables much simpler. I've yet to see anyone suggest that systemd is "simpler".
