I recently replaced Systemd with OpenRC on one of my Arch Linux systems. It was the first time for me, so I was being careful, but still it just took ~60 minutes and I ended up with a more sane system afterwards.
My pet peeve about Systemd is the abysmal error logging for services. Usually it will spit out 50-100 lines that offer zero useful information about why something failed. Adding insult to injury, I have noe easy way to add logging of services. If it were a bash script, I could inject "echo $foo > /tmp/service-debug.log" in the script, figure out the problem and fix it. Now I'm stuck with reporting it upstream and likely getting "Unable to reproduce, closing".
