My intention is to express my dissatisfaction with systemd, not to get technical support, so I'm not going to list them here. Nothing good can come from doing so. But I will say that in terms of actual pain points, the biggest ones have been around logging.
However, technical headaches aren't my largest objection -- my largest objection is that its getting increasingly obvious that as we move into the future and more applications rely on systemd-specific facilities, it's going to get more and more difficult to operate a Linux system without it.

You remind me of all those people who are going to move to Canada "any day now" because of Trump.

Thankfully, changing Linux distributions or switching to a BSD is significantly easier than the significant legal hurdle of immigrating to a country that doesn't have a reputation for being an easy country to immigrate to.
I am not in the vast majority of use cases, then, because systemd is a serious pain in my butt. But then, so is PulseAudio (which is why I make sure it's never installed).
My issues with systemd (both technical and as an andicator of the direction Linux is going) are severe enough that I'm actively preparing to move all of my machines over to BSD.
