My experience dealing with Linux over the years can be summed up by the exclamation "oh my fucking god can you people just PICK ONE."

There are certainly arguments for why the variety of replacements for simple, old, well trod and tested system tools are improvement and yet my 20 year BSD installations get on mostly fine without them and I'd be hard pressed to describe what they're missing in practical terms other than very specific stacks like Docker.

If you live in devops I can see that being a big deal but for the service functions themselves there is something to be said for leaving minor things at "good enough."
