I just want a single tool that has a known, generalized set of capabilities on just about every distribution.

Systemd's obsession with remaking every single wheel in Linux has been aggravating enough. Please don't do it again.

Ironic choice of example…

Before systemd presented a generalised interface, there were significant differences in the init and service management systems between the popular Red Hat and Debian families of distros.

Not what I meant. Systemd has been replacing a bunch of commands too. Not just the init system.

Those additional programs can be freely chosen by distros and/or users. So each of them has to stand on their merit. Though of course they do get some built-in credibility by coming from the systemd project. But for the most part, I think systemd software just tends to have competitive offerings with nice interfaces.

What’s with the hostility of someone making something that’s useful for themselves and sharing it with others?

No-one is stopping you from using netstat.

That's not a feature that the developer has control over. All they can do is try to develop a good tool.
