For me it always feels like people who are bashing on systemd never actually used it. I was very concerned about systemd for long time. And nowadays I use it on all my machines/servers. And it just makes my life so much easier. I'm happy. I like it. I can agree with lot of points on this website. But still systemd makes my happy. So sorry, but no.
For 99% of uses, esp desktop, laptop, embedded... it's great.
For that tiny percent of use cases where services can do all kinds of crazy things and there needs to be extra control, other things like supervisor, foreman_god, daemontools/runit come into play. There are use-cases not many people have to deal with or even exposed to, yet are important considering the impact (say downing a major service like Gmail).
