Fuuuuuck I hate that talk by Benno.

Mostly it strawmans the opposition, says its because they dont like change primarily.

Then he indicates that macos’s launchd is an improvement, despite it being one of the most painful parts of advanced macos administration.

Its a talk that comes up often in these threads but it completely betrays the idea of having a fruitful dialog about the pros and cons of this design and the situations where it can be beneficial.

This seems like a rather hot take. Most of the Mac admins I knew when I worked in the field were quite happy to have a single standard way to solve that class of problems.
