<anecdote> I was on systemd once, about an year back.. just to find out first-hand, what the hoopla is all about. It worked, no fuss but nothing great over current initscripts for a typical developer workstation/desktop.
However one fine day, an abrupt power-cut later, my home partition was no longer mountable under systemd. Initscripts worked fine. So I switched back.. didn't miss a thing..
You're wrong. SysV init scripts _are_ broken, today. But it's silently failing without even noticing it to users in many cases. Finding such boot errors is painfull and time consuming.
