I wish systemd haters would make a public petition to remove systemd from this world. I would absolutely use such a list to make sure I never accidentally hire any one of them for any system administration positions.
As a person who does not work as a system administrator professionally but does use self administered linux machines as workstations systemd has not brought any new productivity gains but it sure has increased the learning curve.
One small example that i've struggled with is logging. It used to be I could reuse my editor knowledge to search and read log files. Now every time I want to look at a log I have to re-read the man pages to figure out the proper incantation.
You could make several arguments here, but they're all small until you aggregate them.
1) Breaking working systems should be dissuaded, especially when it comes to human interaction. There's a reason that Microsoft still has a start menu and "File/Edit" menu's
2) There is a certain level of arrogance to the notion that a developer of core infrastructure for literally millions of users can just change things and expect everyone to fall in line without giving credible reason for people to do that.
3) Adding an additional tool to everyones cognitive load should be done with care and delicacy, as it stood there was one set of tools for _all_ file accesses, and there is now a new one.
PS; on a personal note, I'm glad I do not work with you, I find your attitude in the grandparent comment deplorable.
Yeah, you’re right. I was exaggerating for some reason I don’t recall anymore, a bad day perhaps, too much or too little coffee or something. Who knows.
Of course I don’t discriminate at hiring time against people who disagree with me on such a trivial technical detail. Or hunt for them so I can maintain secret lists of undesirables. That would be unethical, probably illegal, and definitely stupid.
