It’s powerfulness IS the problem. Some parts of systemd are great. Some are meh! Some really suck. But because it’s monolithic, you can’t take the good bits and replace the bad. You have to take it all or nothing.

That’s the problem. Its architecture is offensively bad.

It’s crazy crazy sort order that I can’t stand. They deliberately go in and remove certain characters from the filename, specifically to make the sorting behave weirdly.

They missed my personal favourite:

SHIFT + INSERT … paste the content of the PRIMARY select buffer (currently selected text).
