My problem with systemd is that it's just so poorly written.
The ideas are not inherently bad. But they're not thought through, and the implementation is pure garbage.
Like taking the most stable software in the world[1], and going "nah, I'll just replace it with proof-of-concept code, leaving a TODO for error handling. It'll be fine.".
And then the "awesomeness" of placing configuration files whereever the fuck you want. Like /lib. Yes, "lib" sounds like "this is where you place settings file in Unix. At least there's no other central place to put settings".
[1] Yes, slight hyperbole. But I've not had Linux init crash since the mid-90s, pre-systemd
