I don't take a position in the systemd argument, but you said that systemd fixes lots of problems. It is perfectly reasonable to ask you to name one of these problems, perhaps the one you think is most important.
Compare any average sysv init script with a systemd unit file. The magnitude of gross bash required to do what systemd elegantly accomplishes with a mere few configuration directives in a more reliable way is enough for me.
Personally, I think systemd is the single greatest accomplishment Linux has had in so long I can't recall.
Sorry, I don't understand this. I *think* I've written one or two init V scripts. Overwhelmingly, I just edit .conf files. What I've seen of systemd files are complicated, and multi-multi level.
