There's been gigabytes of text spilled in flames back and forth about systemd over the last ... decade? The first google completion suggestion for "is system" is "bad" and that'll lead you to plenty of criticism about it, lol.
For myself, eh. I find it a little annoying but basically tolerable, sort of like a reinvention of SMF from solaris. Linux system config / init has gotten a hell of a lot more complex since I first touched it in the mid-90s, sometimes we get more functionality for that and other times the grognard in me wants to bin it all and retreat to Slackware or something. What was the old joke, Microsoft admins have solitare.exe and Linux admins have "fiddling with text files"? :)
