It is functionally better but far more brittle, over complicated, heavily coupled, stateful and poorly managed. The net gain is close to zero. Somewhere between sysv and systemd was the sweet spot. Edit: I know my point is unpopular, perhaps mostly with RH staff browsing HN late at night, but this is experience from running systemd in production over 4 years on CentOS 7. What was not a concern before is now a concern and is actually costing me time, money and friction regularly. Add the Linux boot process, all the FreeDesktop crud to this and it's a nightmare of a system to look after. Windows/FreeBSD/OpenBSD are far far far easier to manage from this perspective.
