I'm a bit more on the positive side. I actually really like systemd. When it was first introduced I spent 10-15 minutes learning how it operated and after that it has been so much better than the old init systems.

And the best part is that it's on all the major distros so I don't have to keep relearning the init system if I try something new.

My guess has been that the majority of users enjoy it and a few very vocal opponents have such hate for anything new that they will latch on to every small bug as if it's the worlds end.

(Anecdotally, this is the first time I have written a comment about systemd as other discussions have been non-productive flame fests without substance).

If your effort to learn how systemd functions took you ten minutes it's unlikely you're involved enough in the internals of it to understand the debate.
