12·1 year ago- I did not want to bring up Poettering’s assholery because I did not want to stoop down that low to a personal attack. Some people might like his attitude, some people might not. I find Stallman a generally cool guy despite his stubborn dumb views on some things, but we all have flaws.
- systemd might be better than any other init system at being an init system, but that does not excuse everything else I mentioned. I even did say that it is good software on a technical level. Additionally, if it only was an init system, there would not nearly be as many detractors as they are now. Besides, OpenRC and runit are at a very mature stage now and I use Devuan as a daily driver without any issue or having to dig around init scripts.
- The difference is that Emacs does not actually include that much. Those are entirely optional modules and add-ons. It is a text editor with customizable macros, a script-extendable editor, nothing more. Just because the “meme” is that Emacs does everything does not make it true. It’s quite focused by default.
