While I can understand that point of view, I fully disagree here. I do want to create software for geeks, I want software for everyone and I believe that GNU/Linux is a good techonlogy for that. Besides, not deploying a classical init system does not mean that we don't run linux services. FSO is full of 'em and this won't change :) Now we're really offtopic though...
