Nah, systemd brings lots of useful features - you guys are just being reactionary and opposed to progress. :-)
No, I'm certainly not opposed to progress as such. But the progress must bring something positive. I welcomed udev, I've been using iproute2 since the days most Linux users didn't know it existed (well, maybe most don't even today but that's another story).
On the other hand, I criticized zmd in 10.1, I criticized having KDE4 as default when it was far from ready and I do criticize having systemd now because it is about as ready as KDE4 was when it first appeared in OpenSuSE.
I was in favour of KDE4 (and still am) because it did bring features. Even though it was buggy, there was something there. It was obvious that when it matured, it would become something new that we didn't have before I cannot say the same for systemd. Even giving it all the benefits of every single doubt in the world, I cannot see that it brings us anything we didn't have before, except a fresh new load of headache. It is simply wasted development cycles that could have been better spent on other things, because even when systemd is working exactly according to specs, we will have exactly nothing that we didn't have before.
