Both pulseaudio and systemd have made my life personally easier. I'm looking forward to the day that systemd is the Linux standard across all major distros. Its bad enough having to deal with multiple Unixes at work without also having to deal with multiple distros doing the same thing different ways
As for the people who think too many utilities are being moved into systemd - go check how many binaries are in coreutils - you need a lot of things to make a whole system
Lennart also mentions the white, straight, middle aged male stereotype in his post which wasn't picked up on in this article. You only have to read the comments on the threads where measures are being taken to fix this imbalance to realise there's a massive problem here in the community. Equality isn't about treating everyone the same but recognising that individual needs are met in different ways. Promoting Equality and Diversity is about recognising and valuing difference. It's proven that businesses do better when they have a diverse pool of talented people to draw upon
Lastly on the subject of Linus - he ought to be setting an example to the programmers that he works with and especially to the next generation of programmers who look up to him as a rolemodel. The language he uses would be unacceptable in any other industry. A good working environment encourages and nurtures better programmers
