If systemd had no ill will towards syslog, there would be no journald.

No, journald has its own benefits. Creating an alternative to some software doesn't mean you have ill will towards it.

A compatible alternative to syslog would have been healthy. An incompatible that is the only thing properly supported by systemd is not.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. can someone enlighten me?

you're not allowed to dislike system-d nowadays.

seems like every time I make a valid point against systemd it's flagkilled instead of being replied to.

I've taken to lurking on #systemd in order to see when they sound the bells for an HN thread takeover.
