Well, you've just told us that you know nothing about programmers or programming, as the real world sees them. No professional programmer[1] ever thinks his work is the 'ne plus ultra'. It can always be better. Even if he has to scrap it and start over. It's never good enough. It's never complete. The really good programmers will also tell you that their work is also never bug free. What he is saying is that its a better alternative to SysVInit. He does list specific problems with SysVInit that systemd addresses, and these are problems that Linux needs to address if its to be considered a serious OS, competing with the likes of VM/CMS and its peers. Which is where the people at RedHat and Novel and others want to go. 'Cos, as Willie Hutton was reputed to have said about banks, its where the money is. Linux isn't a "hobby" system any more.

Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid.
