Many people complaining about it is that it doesn't follow the Unix philosophy. I think that it's not so much that systemd is un-UNIX like (after all, it could be argued that X-windows is un-UNIX like too). I think the problem that people are having with it is that it is a cathedral that is getting erected right in the middle of their bazaar. (personally, I don't mind systemd, but I also didn't mind SysV, or BSD init styles either).

Also, it's a badly built cathedral, that most people see that will have problems in the future.

And it's being built by a group of people with a history of pushing badly built catedrals onto Linux, that turn into ruins even before completion, and have to be maintained because people get used to praying there.

That is a beautiful mental image.
