That's the only thing I've seen people praise systemd for, and I happen to agree.

Nothing else systemd does do I think it does better.

If systemd had remained an init system and nothing else, it would've been a clear improvement worth breaking what it does. What systemd is today should be called the Fedora userspace suite, not a Linux init system.

systemd is far more than an init system. I saw somewhere the description of the "basic building block of Linux".

IMO a well working together basic building block is great. The huge amount of pointless differences needed to be reduced ages ago.

Indeed, who needs competition, the bazaar philosophy got us nowhere right? /s
