The good people over at Infoworld have published a story outlining why they feel systemd is a disaster.
Excerpt from Infoworld:
While systemd has succeeded in its original goals, it's not stopping there. systemd is becoming the Svchost of Linux—which I don't think most Linux folks want. You see, systemd is growing, like wildfire, well outside the bounds of enhancing the Linux boot experience. systemd wants to control most, if not all, of the fundamental functional aspects of a Linux system—from authentication to mounting shares to network configuration to syslog to cron. It wants to do so as essentially a monolithic entity that obscures what's happening behind the scenes.

Heh, it's only a matter of time; although it will undoubtedly be an incompatible fork of pulse audio.

How long until they move Gnome into systemd? After all, it already depends on it ...
But then, just wait for the next step: Moving things into the kernel. A kernel is not complete without a kernel space web server to control kernel parameters! ;-)
