I resisted so much the concept of systemd, and certainly there still are some aspects of it that I think are objectively bad (looking at you, binary journal), but as I've been forced into using it for work I do think it's a better system on the whole than sysvinit... at least for servers. I don't know if it's better or worse on desktops because I never really need to think about my init system on my own PCs.

As far as modern replacements for legacy systems go, I also was NOT happy with the concept of systemd, but after using it for years, I have to say that not only did it NOT break everything, it's on the whole been pretty stable, reliable, and I even begrudgingly admit I like the syntax better.

WAYLAND on the other hand...
