This response is *precisely* what I was talking about. With any other
software, those who don't like it are told "fine, if you don't like
Vim, use Emacs". But here, we're told "learn to love it", as if
systemd's world domination is inevitable, and refusal to accept that
conclusion is a personal deficit.

If no architectural reason existed to shun systemd, the preceding
attitude would be more than enough.

When a salesman implies that I have no choice, I walk away. It's the
only prudent way to handle the situation, to prevent the salesman's
words from becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
