Sure soon RHEL will switch to systemd with RHEL 7, so the systemd market share will probably continue to grow. Also SUSE seems to switch to systemd. With these major distro's taking up systemd, it's almost impossible that it's not implemented good enough.
Then, why are there regularly so many, so long discussions on the web? And most of them are not started by me, and I don't even participate in a lot of them. And why are all those critical comments about PA, systemd, and Lennart Poettering marked green by so many people?
Why is Lennart Poettering's software the only software about which there are so many discussions? Really because it's so damn good?
I think you are forgetting that linux-based OS market usage is <1.0%. So by the same logic, why do so many people prefer NOT to use these OSs, because they are so good? Are those people all idiots? Sometimes numbers don't mean much...
I don't know what's going on behind the scenes of all those major distros. So I don't know how big Lennart's or someone else's influence is. But I think it's a mistake to switch to systemd. Well, offering it optionally, would be no problem.
Right, all evil in this world comes from Glass, Apples and... LP. BTW, last time I checked, opensuse had pretty vast public dev ML.
Speaking of which, I doubt that the RHEL and SUSE users care this much about the init system and the system internals as Arch Linux users do.
p.s. it's a bit lame to just blame Poettering since for everything he just iirc the maintainer of systemd. Since there are much more people behind systemd ( Kay sievers, etc. )
I know that Poettering is not the only one behind systemd and PA, but it was his idea and he still is the maintainer. So it's still his software.
