Me personally? Not really. Like I said, I've been using it for a while and it's fine, but I also haven't tried to "stretch" it yet, so my experience doesn't really mean that much one way or the other. It's pretty simple to make something that works well most of the time. It's harder to do that in a way that still works well for the weird corner cases. Shell scripts sitting in a directory waiting to be kicked off by init are supremely flexible in that regard. I'm less confident in the future of systemd that this will still be the case. It's a lot harder to customize the way my Mac boots than it is to customize an old slackware install. But mostly, like I said, it's just ugly. D-bus? Binary logs? Sure, you can build a working system like that, but just ugh.
