For what it's worth, systemd makes my life easier.
When I switch distro, it's almost always systemd, and not the system du jour, so I know how it works. Creating service files is a google query away, and makes common use cases a breathe, while advanced features that were hard to bash script yourself into, are now just a few options to type.
I understand that many people may have problems with systemd for their particular situation, but that's not my experience.
As a dumb user with a few laptops and servers that needs an occassional daemon, I'm glad systemd won. I know you get a lot of heat since it came out, so thank you for working on it.
Sure, systemd solves a number of real problems. This is good.
What is not as good: (1) systemd takes over or duplicates functionality not related directly to its primary purpose, and (2) is not solid enough to trust it in a number of cases, while (3) the developers' attitude does not give a lot of hope that the situation will materially improve.
