If systemd is that bad, where is The Distro Without systemd?

You know, the Linux distro that sets itself apart from the rest by Not Having systemd. Just... not having it. Going with SysV init or BSD init or Something Which Is Not systemd.

Because I don't see one, which implies it isn't that bad.

There are distros that don't use systemd.

Slackware for one. Besides, appeal to popularity isn't a very good argument from my perspective.

It isn't appeal to popularity it's just noticing that if it didn't work nobody could possibly use it. Certainly not as many as do use it.

Guix, the GNU system, uses dmd.
