Cons include ... systemd. The author doesn't elaborate how it's a con, same as some other examples.

It's clear the author thinks it's a con, but I don't see why this article should justify that, it's a pretty unrelated topic to the one at hand.

The tone of the article suggests it's something obvious and universal, which it's not. So there should have been some elaboration, or at least something like "for my purposes".

Most of that sounds quite debatable and a matter of taste. I don't find those arguments objective enough. Calling anything they don't like "bloated" doesn't sound right.

Have you ever dug into the internals of GNU tools and compared them to other tools in the same niche? It's self-evident.

The one that stumped me was GNU. Do they mean the GPL? GNU userspace? gcc?

Yeah, that wasn't clear.
