I don't hate systemd, it simply makes me upset from time to time. If you're a developer, I'd suggest to look around and try writing portable software. Investing your precious time in systemd is pointless IMHO unless you're a systemd developer. It's alike windows: if you a developer on windows learn its incredibly powerful service subsystem... If people made systemd they definitely needed it but I gave it a try and became convinced I don't need it. So why pushing it to me in my favorite distro without any alternative? To force me stop using that distro? To force me to look around and choose another one? Is that the ultimate goal of higher forces? Well, I have to agree, that's not bad, but this distracts me from more important things.
