Reposted with added "upstart" so Arch fanboys can't nitpick their way out of this.

> stuck to SysVinit and told users "you want Systemd, make a package" until long after the big distros had made the switch

Bullshit, Arch was one of the first to switch to systemd as the default way back in 2012. The only "big distros" that switched before Arch were Fedora (obviously since that's where it came from), Mageia which is based on Fedora, and OpenSUSE (but not SLES). The next distro to switch was CoreOS a full year later, and Debian didn't switch until 2015.

I'm not a fan of Arch anymore either, but if you're going to disparage any distro, at least get your facts straight.

Edit: Getting my own facts straight: Mageia was based on Mandriva, not Fedora.
