Yes, obviously.

This seems like a logical leap. Sure, distros have spoken -- but that doesn't speak to whether or not systemd is generally superior. It only speaks to it being acceptable for distros.
> People complaining about systemd is like people complaining that these newfangled LED lights are not producing enough heat.
I don't see that parallel at all. But I guess it doesn't matter.
What I do know is that I've used systemd a lot, and it certainly has its benefits. But it also has its drawbacks. Personally, the tradeoff is not acceptable to me.
This is why systemd has spurred me to stop using Linux in favor of BSD.
