I really don't get all the hoopla around this subject. Maybe since I'm relatively new here (3 months on arch) it's easier for me, then again maybe not. Everything is running fine for me and although different it's still linux and not hard to get used to new things. The whole reason I decided to move to arch is to get the latest software and the newest toys. With that is an unwritten agreement that things are gonna change, frequently and radically and maybe even not to some peoples liking. I respect the developers decision and if they say that moving to systemd is going to be better for them and for us then I will believe that. At least until I have personal proof that they don't have a clue what they are talking about. The move to systemd was easy and relatively painless. I have literally spent 10 times longer reading this back and forth god-aweful debate than I spent researching and then installing and configuring systemd. TRUTH
