Poettering actually did model systemd on launchd. See http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html.

It's kind of funny because launchd and especially launchctl made a lot more sense to me after I learned systemd. In both good and bad ways.

I mean, the general design is fine, the UX kind of sucks though. systemctl stop/start/restart/reload/enable/disable is a lot easier to grok than launchctl.
