I posted my complaints but I think they fall more in the realm of lack
of maturity than bad design.

I believe systemd is superior to sysvinit but it will take time for it
to mature, administrative tools to become available (even if just
better logging/tracing), and for us to get used to it and acquire the
folk knowledge we need.

Until then frustration will arise from time to time.
