Sure, it's different from the old way, but I don't think "unintuitive" is the right word for that. systemd forced people to change their habits so that it could be more intuitive. Of course, people are going to disagree about whether it was worth it - it's the age-old question about breaking backwards compatibility for the sake of minor improvement. Personally, I got used to it pretty quickly and I like it more than the old commands now.

- kstrauser 2y agoYeah, I gave up resisting and I’m rolling with it. Ok, fine, this is the way now. And yet my fingers still want to type it the other way.
- ndom91 2y agoThe way I remember this is that the old way didn't allow for applying the verb to multiple units. Now you can "restart" multiple units, i.e. `systemctl restart nginx webapp`, etc.
- kstrauser 2y agoThanks. I'm going to use that to remember it now.
