All that Ubuntu-baiting in the post makes this seems like yet another totally useless but demo-friendly feature used to lobby for a disruptive new way of doing things. I'm not quite sure yet of what good systemd is supposed to do besides breaking almost two decades of muscle memory on how to manage services. But this post does not fill me with hope of there being any tangible real world benefit.

It's not unlike pulseaudio with all the imaginary benefits that might be relevant once in a lifetime, which in no way balanced out the continuing inconvenience and pain that it's caused in practice.

"all that ubuntu-baiting" ?! It's mentioned in one paragraph with respect to their decision to not use systemd, of which the poster is the author. And it's clearly relevant.
