Not OP, so i’ve got no idea why they think it’s bad, but systemd breaks with unix’s key design principles, and monopolizes and absteacts more and more aspects of system management. Some people do not like this.
A while ago I read through the classic Unix Programming Environment from 1984 while trying out the things described on a Debian system. I like the unix philosophy. Ken is a genius. ed is the standard editor. The more I read though, the more I was thinking that this just isn’t how we use computers today. I think Linux is trying to be two things at once. On the one hand it’s sort of a UNIX-clone, on the other hand it’s a black box that our containers and browsers and applications rest on. I’m not sure why we are heading towards less and less UNIX, but it seems to be by popular demand?
They literally describe their infra as “Gnome OS”. They spoke loudly in the previews to Gnome 3 against terminal users having the right to customize their terminal. They want every Gnome install to carry and be limited to the “Gnome brand”. They are drunk on the corporate kool-aid and I would surmise it won’t be long before we see Activate your Gnome account" and “GnomePilot”, considering they are also drunk on Microsoft influences.
They are, currently, a net negative for the classial Linux experience.

IMHO, you cannot apply the UNIX philosophy to a GUI.
It’s not like GNOME adhere to the UNIX design principles in the first place.
Also, I get that they’d want to streamline their stuff.

In that sense, Cosmic OS coming out of alpha in hopefully a year might provide a decent alternative of Gnome does go astray.
