As an admin and desktop user I like systemd. I have to write less config and less boilerplate code to shore up dependencies across networking, mounts, and things like DNS than I did back in the sysv days. That time saving enables me to get on with other, more useful things.

As a lowly JS developer, I have had a positive experience with systemd. One service file and it handles logging and process management. Better than the insane options the JS community cooked up IMO.
Systemd favors the distro maintainer and cloud application service provider, and maybe the appliance manufacturer.
It's the exact opposite of a useful tool empowering the the individual.
