Yes, that is so. I don't have (big) problems with systemd. I think. In general, I'm happy. Well, perhaps that if there is a problem I can not edit an script and solve it. I have to wait for the devs to solve and distribute it. Ie, little problems are now more difficult to hack or solve for the administrator. ...
I am asking you to do take the time to learn about systemd before considering your opinion on it as complete.
Perhaps have an easy to find document, a FAQ, would help: I have this problem, what do I do? Not a long documentation to study and comprehend, but something practical and to the point, with actual examples to copy and use. Like: How do I start something before/during/after boot/after some other service. It is a question often asked: this week, I think. Maybe it exists, but I wouldn't know where. This one is good: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.ref...
systemd is downright amazing on servers. Want to make a service that automatically deletes files in a folder every time they appear? That's like 3 lines in a systemd unit file, done
Is that in the fAQ? ;-)
using systemd's more dynamic features, like having services start only when required, is a dreamy way of optimising your servers
