SystemD makes me feel weird.

SystemD makes me feel weird. When I boot Debian 8 (which has systemd) I'm amazed how quickly it boots. Systemd units are nice. SysVinit was a mess. I wish I could interrupt stuck processes when booting / shutting down: http://i.imgur.com/a4ImjAk.jpg When someone comments about how overly complex and controlling systemd is for an init system, I think of all the hideous shell scripts that don't talk to their neighbors which end up forming most the sysvinit boot process on many distros (in the past?). I wish there was something [lighter|simpler|more portable| more unix ] than systemd. Every time I seed something [good|bad] about systemd it makes me want to [comment|upvote|walk away].
