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. It is buggy, it is poorly documented, configuration is much more complicated, it makes diagnostic of the boot process harder. What does it give me? A bit faster boot (or maybe only makes it look faster). I'm sorry, I can't see this as a good deal. And unlike with KDE4, most of the problems are not going to disappear. Bugs will be fixed eventually, documentation is going to be written but complicated configuration, complicated diagnostic and incompatibility with third party projets will stay.
