Well something obviously makes you hate systemd, a very emotional reaction to bits that manipulate transistors on a chip made from inorganic materials.
You know well it's not about the bits. It's about the people behind it and their behaviour. David said it clearly: if it was just another project available as an option, he wouldn't mind. But systemd people make an enormous effort to make their project the only possibility, to make it as hostile and impossible to coexist with as possible. That's what makes people hate it. Unfortunately those people are also very skilled in the PR targeted on the narrow groups of decision makers. That's why systemd people were allowed to throw everyone else out of the distributions rather then being told that they are not allowed in until they are able and willing to live with others.
Or maybe the maintenance of multiple init systems in a distribution is just very expensive and possibly more than doubles the required testing. And maybe systemd showed enough promise for improving the status quo that the so called decision makers thought it was worth the trouble of switching. Certainly people have their misgivings about Lennard and Kay. However, on the one hand apparently people like to paint their picture as evil incarnate and then on the other hand they are accused of being very good at PR to convince all these "decision makers" that systemd is the way to go. Hmmmm, makes me wonder......
