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.

In the comments above, people explain that systemd doesn't even really accomplish any of the things it claims to do, and manages to shit up the whole place in the process. How much worse can you get?
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
