Debugging is harder until you get used to systemd but otherwise it's a great improvement over sysvinit. The biggest issue I have is that it's apparently not well-supported inside containers and people recommend supervisord instead.

journalctl -u or tail your daemon's log file

It's actually pretty decent, and once you dig through it a lot of the unit file properties are genuinely useful and solve real problems that shell scripts can't deal with.

Like what? Nowadays all distros boot pretty fast with it.
- dsr_ 6y agoI didn't say sysvinit was better, although it frequently is. There are other inits and daemon supervisors out there. journalctl is a terrible interface. As for delays: you've never seen "waiting for [thing]... 5 min 30s" before? You're lucky.
