Maybe you're not aware of it, but there are a LOT of things that systemd fixes that people are happy about.
Like what ? I don't remember there were as many errors to fix before systemd appeared.
I suggest reading the previous emails (SOME OF WHICH YOU REPLIED TO) that listed many of the features people are happy about.
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.
Well, here's a great one. I agree with Matthew:

<snip> Well, that's interesting, about making sure it's stopped. I've asked here a month or two ago, and got no responses: my manager has me using pmount/pumount to mount the hard drives I'm putting in the eSATA drive bay for offline backups. Formerly, I used mount/umount, and when I umounted it, and walked downstairs, mostly, esp the green drives, were spun down. I pumount... and *nothing* spins down. They stay spinning, which is obvious, as I can feel the gyroscopic action as I pop them out immediately after hitting the button to turn off the power to the drive.
That box is running CentOS 7.
