Emacs would have been a better counter-example. ed, ex and vi were standard, and they just had one single function: edit a file. (g)vim, elvis and all other vi clones do not change that: they are just editors. emacs however adds a complete infrastructure to integrate various other activities into editing. Just like netbeans, idea, and eclipse. That is why I try to stay away from these as long as possible.
I see cron as ed. I see systemd as emacs. They both have their target audience, and if you look at how enthusiastic their users are, on both camps, and how many flame-wars have been started over the years on this, I think it warrants the existence of both.
With a difference. You can do the things emacs does with any other editor plus other tools for those other things it does which I do not know about. Not with systemd, there is no alternative. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
