There's no need to be rude. While I'm not anti-systemd; it didn't change my life tremendously, either.
People tend to bash init scripts, but when they are written well, they both work and port well between systems. At least this is my experience with the fleet I manage.
Dependencies worked pretty well in Parallel-SysV, too, again from my experience. Also, systemd is not faster than Parallel-SysV.
It's not that "I had to learn everything from scratch!" woe either. I'm a kind of developer/sysadmin who never whines and just reads the documentation.
I wrote tons of service files and init scripts during Debian's migration. I was a tech-lead of a Debian derivative at that time (albeit working literally underground), too.
systemd and its developers went through a lot phases, remade a lot of mistakes despite being warned about them, and took at least a couple of wrong turns and booed for all the right reasons.
The anger they pull on themselves are not unfounded, yet I don't believe they should be on the receiving end of a flame-war.
From my perspective, systemd developers can benefit tremendously by stepping down from their thrones and look eye to eye with their users. Being kind towards each other never harms anyone, incl. you.
