it's not hate, it's valid criticism.

It's an euphemistic way to describe a monoculture. systemd eats into
your system and forces itself onto you with all its interfaces.
A few years ago, it didn't matter which init system you had, now it
goes so far that you can't run certain GUI applications without having
this cancerous leech in your system.

Of course, runit is only a service manager. But runit+sinit+misc is a
whole other story.
