I'd say the systemd interface is worse¹, but cron was never really good, and people tended to replace it very often. 1 - Really, what are the people upthread gloating about? That's the bare minimum all of the cron alternatives did. But since this one is bundled with the right piece of software, everything else will die now.

Nah, cron will be just fine. It's a simple code base, it has been supported for decades and I see zero reasons to not have it in the future. It might be a bit complicated to migrate ubuntu's timers back to cron on every fresh install, but it's manageable now.
