Solid analogy. In the case of Systemd, it was fixing problems for me that I never had, and creating problems that I'd also never had: It broke laptop sleep. It broke /etc/rc.local. It broke domainless local DNS lookups. It broke boot on one of my servers (fstab's new nofail argument? really?) And it (soft) broke a keyboard of mine. A keyboard! Astonishing.
I really wish Debian had not drunk that particular kool-aid. :'(
I'd go somewhere else but Debian (and by extension Ubuntu) have been doing binary package management the longest, and for me it really shows. I want these boxes to just sit there for years, be extremely low maintenance and only pick up security updates, and I've never gotten a better experience anywhere else.

I've had a similarly good low-maintenance and dependable upgrade experience with CentOS

CentOS ain't gonna get me away from systemd, though.
It is like coming home one day, and the house has been demolished. There’s a joker in a bulldozer proudly proclaiming there was some dog crap on the sidewalk, and that he took care of it for me.
