Both systemd and upstart have added a level of complexity I would prefer to avoid. The simplistically of sysvinit is greatly missed.

But then again I am an old fuck so..

The complexity is there, you just don't see it. Systemd handles all types of services. Sysvinit does not. Systemd abstracts a lot, making it easier per service (by putting more in systemd). In sysvinit a lot is copy/pasted across services. IMO making everything more error prone.
