When I learned the Linux back in the 90s I got really familiar from a sysadmin perspective with init.d.

Then I stopped paying attention at some point in the 2000s and systemd showed up and I wasn't sure what all the hubbub was about.

Cool to get some the technical history on the change.

I can sympathize with where some of the hate came from, but it mostly works fine.
I do run a sizable cluster w/o systemd currently, had quite a few issues with it years ago, and just never found a case where it filled an unmet need or made anything simpler for this particular rollout.
I think it just didn't bring anything to the table for dead-simple deployments, and it caused hassles on critical machines so we simply didn't use it.
That doesn't make systemd useless or bad I'm sure my desktop has had systemd for a long time now and I can't remember the last time, if ever, it got in my way there.

I did UNIX / Linux IT from like 2000-2006, and stopped running Linux on my personal machines (except for the odd raspberry pi, which generally require almost no tinkering) a few years later, so I missed all of this hullabaloo over systemd. Interesting stuff.
