> When you hear people opposing Systemd, practically all of them have some real-life issues with it
Yes, but a lot of people have real-life issues with it on their desktop of the form "It's too complicated." I'm asking specifically about real-life issues on production servers at scale. There will of course be tools that are poorly suited for a personal machine (even a personal server) but well suited for a team that wants to run a bunch of reliable servers.
For instance I would never be happy running RHEL on my desktop, but that doesn't mean RHEL is useless.
I can't quote any statistics but have the impression that a large part of non-Systemd crowd are old-time admins who maintain a large number of servers, myself included. When you break something on a desktop machine, that's easily fixable. When you need to deal with a large heterogeneous environment, you prefer to have things handled a bit more gracefully. Linus is a good example of a person who got this right.
