I dislike it for the fact if a process hangs or if your network isn’t ready you get “Starting process - 2/5minutes”

If your trying to hastely safe shutdown “Waiting for process to stop - 3/8minutes”

Sure, you can alter the timer but that’s then just another task I shouldn’t need to do.

Dependencies within unit files

It’s own log formatting in a binary format

It’s icky, it feels clunky and while it works it doesn’t feel smooth.

This isn't actually an issue with systemd, it's just how the distro has configured it.

systemd is really good at doing what it's told, if it's told something bad it will do something bad.
