But you can still run gnome on Ubuntu (I do), and Linux without a graphical interface at all.

True. Or you can switch to Mint. The think with systemd though is that you don't have this option anymore. Regardless of how bad idea you think it is - you are stuck with it (as it seems). I think that's on the core of arguments against it.

Without "Desktop Environment", not without graphical interface.

Huh? When did a console become a graphical interface?

[snaky]

Not a console. X Window System and window manager.
