I've been reading about how linux works and all the docs speak of init as a shell script. And I've noticed, by a little listening that everyone is switching to systemd as the init program and I wanted to know why? What does systemd have that init.sh lacks? Linux is world famous for multiple choices (ever counted the number of text editors?) and now all the sudden it seems that systemd is the only choice, which is strange. A web search turns up only information about a debate going on in ubuntu and debian and conflicts of interest thereof but no hard facts.
