That's highly overdramatized, isn't it? Lets keep the facts straight without jumping onto the choo choo bashing train and have an easy ride: Yes there may be some users that, under certain circumstances, notice problems... but its far not as "broken" as you try to state with that statement. If you referrer to the session change update breakage thingie from 2013 then sorry, but that's 3 years ago. In fact I'm still using slim and never had any problems (same applies for several friends i know). Also maybe it does not handle systemd sessions, but so what? Lets nuke tmux then because systemd kills it on logout and they don't want to integrate systemd? I don't say there may be no problems, but bashing like that statement is simply not fair and also not very helpful.
