it's not that it's not perfect - it's dangerous and fundamentally NOT in the spirit of *NIX. It does not makes things better - it makes things more like Windows and Apple. If you feel Windows and/or Apple are better, then I suggest you use them instead. What many younger people seem to think is that Free == no cost. Freedom is about choice and control over your own destiny. systemd is an affront to all of the things GNU/Linux has stood for for two decades. It's been adopted because the main desktop environment has gotten in bed with systemd and now depends on it. I would urge you to think about it in terms of how this adoption will limit choice in the future, and ultimately cede control of literally all of Linux's underpinnings to a single entity. Has nothing Snowden revealed gotten into your head yet?

Can anyone explain to me how an airliner, supposedly shot out of the sky @ thirty thousand feet is leaving seats, bodies that are identifiable, engines, parts of the plane, luggage, etc. Yet the aircraft on 9/11 in Shanksville PA, and at the Pentagon left absolutely nothing? No bodies, seats, luggage, engine pieces. Nothing. Nada. What was so incredibly different about the way these aircraft crashed that would obliterate everything?

ouch. but when you hang your sh*t way out there, on systems you have no physical control over, how can you act like this is not a likely eventual outcome?
