I absolutely did include explicit problems with systemd in my post. And I wasn't hyperbolic, what systemd is not explainable by any rational thought. If you want to tell me why your init system should also be an fstab and a DNS provider go ahead.

I criticize systemd because for months my full time job was dealing with it. I suspect the minority of systemd haters are actually people like me, who actually had to do non-trivial things with it and realized how bad it is, if you actually have to do things with it.

Hating systemd is sort of a joke in certain Linux circles, where "Unix philosophy" and "minimalism" are tossed around. I don't really care about that discussion. Systemd is awful by any philosophy which aims to provide good software, for almost anything you can fill the word "good" with.
