One thing I noticed is that the only people who usually bash Windows are those who don't develop or know very little about programming.
You really shouldn't do such assumptions. You couldn't have noticed it, you're just assuming.
What exactly is wrong with ini files and/or registry? Perhaps it is your misunderstanding...
And I assume that you never really administrated a Windoze PC. Then you would know that particularly the registry is a PITA.
Over time various linux projects took a lot from windows: gconf/dconf (~registry),
Gconf is also almost a PITA. At least it's a lot more inconvenient than simple text files.
KDE4 indexing services (~superfetch/desktop indexing),
This indexing is one thing which makes KDE4 so slow and unstable. KDE4 was the reason why I switched to Xfce. And, yes, I tried KDE4. But Gnome and KDE4 are just optional, systemd is meant as the new init system. That's a big difference. If this all was only about an optional piece of software I wouldn't say anything. I just wouldn't use it. Heiko
