I ignored systemd because I thought it didn't affect me, as I only run linux (fedora) on my desktop, and hardly had any issues at that.

But recently, when I changed my fstab file to mount a drive at boot, I made a typo. My system wouldn't boot at all and it wouldn't even drop to a shell so I can chroot the file system like you would with init.d.

I thought that there's some arcane command I don't know about. But there wasn't. You're locked off, and expected to boot off something else to fix your system. Horrible.

Having this said, I honestly expected way more on the section about benefits to users.
