Same old arguments debunked many times already. 1. Old systems it replaced were difficult to use and maintain. 2. It is in fact modular and the code is actually easy to understand. When I ran into a bug, I managed to find and fix it. 3. Systemd itself replaces the init and service management (initscripts etc), that's quite in the scope. Other bits and pieces like timers and resource management, are also in the scope. Other things like network management, are separate things that are only developed under the umbrella of the systemd project. 4. Systemd was not pushed suddenly, it was many years in brewing, and it became gradually adopted when it was actually ready for production use.
