It's fashionable in some parts of the linux world to hate on systemd.

After Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Red Hat and CentOS switched over to systemd, it must be a very tiny part of the Linux world.

There are plenty of users of those distributions (sysadmins) who aren't happy about the switch to systemd but, for various reasons, are stuck with it.

Fortunately for me, I'm not one of them.

I don't think so, as every time I see systemd mentioned in a headline - the comments are filled with arguments over its use.

Arch linux spawned a distro called manjaro which leads the way on not joining the systemd bandwagon. Debian got forked into devuan which is debian minus systemd. As systemd originated from redhat it is expected that the other faces of redhat namely fedora and centos would also feature systemd.

Then there is slackware, gentoo, pclinuxos that either did not bit the systemd bullet or offer alternative option. Not sure about ubuntu.

"Arch linux spawned a distro called manjaro which leads the way on not joining the systemd bandwagon."

...well, kinda: manjaro supports openrc, but the official, main installs are systemd. you can start with an official install and convert it, or you can use an openrc iso, but those are not officially supported.

Just to add to the others CentOS was essentially bought by RedHat and there Core developer is now a RedHat employee. Magically there was a new major 7.0 version bump adopting SystemD as the one and only init system. A new flashy website and a refusal to allow any alternative init system into the official packages other then SystemD. Needles to say CentOS is no longer an independent alternative to RedHat Linux.

CentOS has always been RHEL without the trademarks, they'd have followed Red Hat to systemd regardless.

CentOS has NEVER been independent of RHEL

RedHat has to release there sources for others to use. Most of the code is under some form of GPL. CentOS was an independent volunteer driven effort that compiled and packaged that code into a new distro not affiliated with RedHat. That is why they had to remove RedHat branding and they could not market CentOS as RHEL etc.
