I remember using xinetd, and while xinetd does do the job… sometimes… systemd is much more comprehensive, so you don’t need to fuss about with different configs for xinetd, cron, init.d, etc. This is especially nice since the number of config options has skyrocketed, so systemd really simplifies administration (in my experience, at least).
