I may not agree with Canek on all things:
- I do dislike systemd, especially on Centos where disabling services doesn't
always work past a reboot
- Users who can't write code also have a right to be heard and their wishes
should still be honestly considered
But the conversations have always been civil. And information from him has
always been helpful. He is one of the few people on this list whose comments I
read and who I do miss when there isn't something for a while.

Canek bases his "being a fan of systemd" on what he needs and wants from a
computer. For him, systemd fits that requirement perfectly.
