That sounds like you have collected and counted "votes" pro and against
systemd. (Mine, BTW is against, and I do not feel it fair to be discounted
as a stupid minority as it is implied in your post). There is no point to
repeat listing of ugly sides of systemd - which you said yourself are
there. As far as "advantages" are concerned: I didn't see any compared to
sysvinit or upstart. I don't care that _laptop_ with systemd starts 3
times faster - it's brilliant when you have to start it right on the
podium few seconds before giving your presentation. However, my life is
more influenced by the servers I maintain. BTW, when "counting votes" keep
in mind an existence of an army of refugees from Linux, they already have
voted against ugliness here, there,...

Just my $0.02
