Seriously, I would not ever go back to a house of cards of bash and shell scripts of an init system. systemd solves actual problems and gets shit done, with a level of consistency that cannot be achieved by LEGO-like wet-dreams of UNIX worshippers. My favorite example is systemd-resolve and systemd-network that actually communicate together to indicate which DNS server is available on which network interface and with which search domains, to gasp do proper DNS routing.
Am I happy with all of systemd? Not always, it has a tendency to break networking after an upgrade with reexec. I'm still not convinced about homed. But oh my, you don't have to look further than actually solving problems to explain its success.
