> I don't know what kind of software you make
Mostly hacky stuff that does what I need, and not much more. Definitely nothing professional,at least that's relevant to this.
I agree with what you are saying. I am by no means an expert, but I have read/studied enough to know that I disagree with almost all of the philosophy behind SystemD, and have used it enough that I know it does not work properly all the time.
Everything above also applies to Windows. That doesn't change the fact that both are impressive, though flawed (more flawed than most software I use, imho) pieces of software.
Despite all of it's flaws, SystemD has been proven through use. I don't like it, but I have to acknowledge it's capabilities.
That's not exactly the same as the Vasa, but there too - fundamental principles were ignored while other aspects of the design were impressive.
