There does appear to be a lot of negativity around systemd, such as people giving out about binary logging. I'm sure there's got to be a way to enable text logging along with binary logging.

This lad seems really enthusiastic about systemd logging and systemctl:

There are a lot of interesting features, but personally I'd prefer to have both binary and text logging. Text logging is in cases where a system goes tits up and you may only have access to some basic tools such as grep, vi etc.

Yes, the author of systemd/systemctl is very enthusiastic about his projects. Why did you point that out?
