The thing which always gets me about systemd is not the thing itself, but the way it was rolled out. When I first installed Red Hat 7, if a window had appeared telling me about systemd and asking me if I wanted to use it, or stick with the old init framework, I'd have opted for the latter (as I was interested primarily in continuity from the previous version.) But I'd have noted the existence of systemd, and would have tried it out on a sacrificial box - I might even have got to like it! But having it rammed down my throat just put me off it for life (bit like a kid being force-fed Brussels sprouts.)
I don't mind systemd - but I'm not fully convinced it was a necessary change.
I still have a lot to learn about it and sometimes that's a problem, I don't learn things as well as I did 15 years ago.
