And now, via the bitching, we'll see who likes Linux because of its 'classic Unix goodness' and who wants to see radical innovation. I'm currently not sure which I prefer. A lot of recent changes have kind of annoyed me. Systemd doesn't impress me that much because I liked the original init.d architecture, I understood it, and it works. That said, it's nice when I boot up a Mac and am at a log-in screen in just a few seconds. Can't have it both ways, and part of the problem is expectations - I don't expect my Linux box to boot up quickly, so it doesn't annoy me if it doesn't. If Linux keeps getting radical this way, I might just switch to FreeBSD on the desktop though (PC-BSD is awesome: nice way to get BSD on a desktop, though it's wonky on laptop hardware). BSD has no pretentions of doing this radical sort of stuff, as far as I can tell, making it more suitable for those of us who like *nix the way it is. Or something like that.
