I'm tired of all this UNIX philosophy crap. I have been using Systemd for more than a year now, on Archlinux, and it has been a delightful experience.
It works out of the box and it gets a lot of things right.
Journald is quick & easy to use and a real help in finding problems. No more searching around in log files and grepping.
Dependencies between services are handled by the init.
Services start with maximum parallelism.
Writing .service files is really easy.
It simply has better UX than any other init system, and it's supported by a lot of distros.
This means standardization and progress. No more developer time wasted on sysvinit scripts.
The posted link is the same FUD that I have been reading for the last year on various forums. Even if systemd can be a single point of failure, it's still way more stable than anything we have used before.
