I've been happily using the alternative for more than 25 years so far
Edit: Choosing to stan Poettering is a weird choice. You know he works for microsoft, right? The gigantic fascist software monopoly place that has been openly destroying human rights for decades, collaborates with the CIA/NSA/FBI and US state as a mass surveillance apparatus. He's also always been an arrogant child, picking fights with principled engineers and working against the efforts of unix philosophy to insert awful windowisms into our ecosystem. Poettering is a disease on FOSS and his legacy is using RedHat/IBM to insert systemd (which is basically CIA bloatware with a massive pid-zero attack surface) into Linux will never be forgiven.
I did not know much, if anything, about Poettering. That's good to know. My goal is to use OpenRC with s6, and I like how the s6 dev wants to create an init system to compete against systemd. I don't like systemd for its bloat and flawed design, and some recent features of systemd have been sus.
I don't pay much attention to dev manchildren, so forgive me if I am not aware of their histories.
Apologies if my Poettering rant was worded too strongly. I guess I just mean that there are very good reasons people dislike him so much. He's earned far less animosity than he deserves imo.
s6 is cool, though I've not played around with it too much. I've mostly stuck with runit on my Linux systems since it's simple, fast and I'm happy with it. You might take a look at dinit, too, if you haven't already. It's still maturing, but dinit is probably the most syntactically similar to systemd. Both are very fast.
