  I hear you. When I first tried to use systemd-networkd, it didn’t work. Last I tried, I couldn’t get systemd-resolved to work they way I like to configure things.

It’s all in what you personally want to believe in. You are perfectly justified in avoiding what you see to be problematic software. However, it is mainstream, and bugs seem to be fixed over time. If we assume this to be true, there will come a time when systemd is working perfectly adequately for your needs, but you are completely unprepared to use it, since you haven’t had the training which most everyone else has gotten until then. You see? I have my rationalizations and you have yours.
