This 'simplicity' changes quickly into hairball of scripts if anything non-trivial is requested.

  So you'd like to trade one hairball (shell script) for another (systemd).

    To me the new hairball does seem much cleaner and better thought out. Sysvinit scripts are copy/paste programming at its worst, every one doing a half-assed, buggy reimplementation of an init system copy/pasted from another package and then tweaked until it sort of worked.

    There's value in declaring hairball bankruptcy, though. The world changes. Complexity can grow non-linearly, and assumptions valid in one context can rapidly change.
