I hate hate HATE systemd. That doeant mean it doesnt have its positive points, however.

Example: I love service files.

If they would just make everything modular/optional, I wouldnt hate it nearly as much

Do you currently have a need for a piece of systemd that would work better as a standalone component?

Not so much standalone, but being able to substitute other services. Logging and service-management are two issues off the top of my head. I'd love to be able to disable those, and manage them with another service/package.
Optional, like the KillUserProcesses option?
Yes, I'm glad they made it optional. I don't like it, but being able to easily turn it off makes it a non-issue to me.
