Ruben, I figure you'll find this page useful:
http://judecnelson.blogspot.com/2014/09/systemd-biggest-fallacies.html
It politely but thoroughly debunks pretty much all of the advocacy
debating points continually hauled out in favour of systemd.
_While_ pointing out the deliberately deceptive and illogical nature
of those arguments, the page also highlights the areas where systemd
gratuitously introduces core-system bloat, difficulty of diagnosis,
already-severe and increasing lock-in, unstable key software
interfaces, brittleness, blurring of vital levels of abstraction,
inflexibility[1] reducing of system modularity/interchangeability, and
fuelling of sysadmin lack of control into affected systems -- not to
mention the arrogance of shovelling those things down everyone else's
throats.
Note that author Jude C. Nelson's text is MUCH stronger for the total
lack of ranting.
[1] See in particular comment from reader Leonardo L. at the bottom.
