Oh neat I can actually investigate and fix or replace it instead of just having to live with it. Nowadays I'm not sure I'd see the advantage as a new user and may not bother even trying it out. I could actually see systemd killing the whole year-of-linux-on-the-desktop thing not even because it's worse in any way, but because as time goes on the major distinguishing factors from other OSes are disappearing, so there's no longer reason for people to try it out.
