Their are some striking similarities between how systemd and Gnome interact with the community. Disregard for portability, feature creep, the way they attempt to monopolize their respective 'markets' and the way they treat everyone that disagrees. Those are all worrying. And the company behind systemd and with significant stakes in gnome (RedHat) recently showed how well they treat open source projects that stop being valuable for them as a company.

That's entirely unfair. We contributed a couple of changes to systemd and they went through without problems.

systemd does have a very opinionated code style, but that's not much different from (say) Linux kernel.
