"Abomination" is not a good enough argument. Systemd is very useful, and in order for someone to convince me not to use it, I need to see a good argument against it. "It's too big, it's an abomination" don't have clear technical implications, therefore don't make good technical arguments.

I prefer the simplicity of text based LOG files over binary files requiring that you use the systemd API that was changing regularly the last time I touched it. Modern syslog implementations (e.g. rsyslog) will write journald log events in plaintext, if you're desperate to have plain-text-on-disk.
