Speaking as someone who has preferred Debian on servers since woody, I remain happy to run Debian on all my servers and am reasonably happy with systemd. Any other Linux I could imagine ever switching to also now runs systemd by default and I would be unlikely to seek to change that. I suspect that if you counted every instance of an init system running "in the cloud", most of them would be systemd. The most popular OS in the cloud is Ubuntu¹ - with systemd. CoreOS², which was designed from scratch to be run in the cloud, includes systemd as a non-optional component. I am not aware of any mass exodus of server administrators away from systemd. Quite the opposite in fact, simply because most distributions switched to it. It is perfectly okay for someone to dislike systemd, or any other piece of software, but if you are going to make statements that appear to be on behalf of all server administrators then I think you need to show your working.
