So systemd would be "emacs" in the "emacs vs. vi" everlasting debate?

Except that both emacs and vi can be (and have been) ported to a number of other operating systems. Systemd is tied specifically to the Linux kernel and the Linux infrastructure, in much the same way as launchd is in Mac OS 10.x. It might be more correct to say that in the emacs vs. vi debate, systemd is TextMate.
