Sometimes I feel like the only person who actually likes, and gets the need for, #systemd, but then I remember that for most people it just works(tm), so we never hear from them.
My thing with sysvinit etc. was that when things stopped working, I never knew consistently where to start digging, what tools could I use with a particular script etc. - with systemd, I have a consistent set of tools I can use to add/modify and monitor my init system, something sysvinit simply didn't offer.
