IMO: 1-At the point when "Linus'" (solely I doubt) decision to proceed in fully supporting it was committed, need and desire for what was advertised/claimed it was and would become was valid. 2-It has been well crafted to induce resisting of support for alternative init system possibilities, in addition to making continued support for sysvinit virtually impossible. 3-It evolved, expanded and subsumed ravenously, a proverbial snowballing multiplied, down a tall mountain with a steep slope, unstoppable without a bigger than herculean effort, from an organization more powerful than the Linux universe leviathan RedHat pushing it. 4-It does provide benfits. 5-Improvements continue to occur, and are expected to continue. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
