And what problems did you had?
He almost became mainstream.
Progressives (feminists and faggots) started using linux, that's what happened.
Pro-choice hillbilies? the world really has gone mad
, the more talented users turn off to the possiblity of building stable user-facing applications on that platform.
You mean the more vocal slashdot commenters. I don't see developers running away en masse from Red Hat, Canonical or any real development projects.
The anti systemd grup is the linux hipster "my distro is harder than yours" types that has plagued LUGs, IRCs and Mailing Lists from the beginning. It's hardly the majority of developers
They are just a loud bunch, Linux will move forward steadily as it always has. If SystemD is a failure as they said, probably will be replaced in the future by a better thing.
If I wanted no freedom and no choice, then I would just use a more popular commercial OS than Linux and be done with it.
by all means do it, since freedom in free software has nothing to do with your notion of "people should develop things that I LIKE" you are kind of missing the point on the whole thing.
And to be fair, Fedora is rock solid as a workstation. At least for me it has been the least complicated distro to install, upgrading one time per year on my desktop and each 6 months in my laptop.
You have to get used to change, but if you are a developer not concerned with learning a few new things every year it's ok.
It should receive some more love on the desktop side, it's getting unintuitive for beginners.
Not trivial. Not easy. Not freedom of choice.
There is no such thing as freedom of choice. I mean... there is still one choice, you can CHOOSE to develop your own distro acording to your own tastes and system design vision.
If you are solipsistic and think that everyone's job is to keep you happy, then it's not other people (devs) fault, it's yours. You have decided not to move on, you have decided that everything that gets consensus is too mainstream and your indignation is based in the fact that no one asked you before changing it.
You're actually trying to force everyone else to stay still until YOU can assimilate that technology is always changing. Technology has forced upon us a plethora of other things, be it social media, new standards, languages and technologies. Have you ever considered that nobody asked you before coming up with HTML5?
Perhaps the reason of this is that you are not as important as you think you are, and should eat your own ego and assimilate that society won't always choose things that you like.

But then I won't be able to complain online of how I much I hate SystemD
Well, I'm not here to discuss theology. Just the truth about what the doctrine has said. I'm an agnostic myself.
What I can assure is that this pope is a skilled politician, and he'll probably get the best reputation since John Paul II . He called the vote on gay marriage because he knew it wouldn't pass, but "hey, it's not my fault, I TRIED!". And several other acts like acting "humble" by choosing the cheapest luxuries in his life.
Graphics! Look at the graphics! You're not a true gamer unless you're elitist about graphics!
I don't know what a true gamer is, I'm a guy who play games, no time for making an identity from it. But sauerbraten does it better, and it doesn't even require a good graphics card, and it has been around for ages now. Nowadays it seems like developing stuff with shitty graphics, labeling retro and selling it half-baked is what's "in".
