Seems like the commercial interest was caused by a lot of people loving it.

Most hate seems to be from enthusiast/tinkerer types who want to hand maintain highly customized systems.

Systemd is great for ople who just want a commodity OS, maintained by pros, and kept stock.

Actually, systemd is also better for users that want to highly specialize their systems.

It is only bad for people who love debugging race-conditions between shell scripts that run very early in their boot process.
