The comparison to systemd is often made, but imo very unfair. systemd may have a complex implementation but it's usage is rather simple and consistent across distros so in that way it definitely simplifies on what came before it, which was an init system simple in its implementation but finicky and inconsistent in usage. It's kind of like I'd much rather have a programming language that has a complex compiler but it takes care of so many details that its usage (programming) is simple - because I am not the one who has to deal with the compiler complexity - rather than making the jobs of the compiler devs easier, (why, if that's their primary job?), but making my everyday job programming in such language harder?
