Please look at what technical superiority of systemd consists of and then tell us if an ordinary user needs it. What systemd brings is something usefull only for companies that has money to pay for high-end servers, clusters, supercomputers and can get a clue who may some of them be. For ordinary users and even enterprises, it can be really called useless because with much less lines of code all of that could have been implemented on top of sysvinit and shell scripts. We simpy must separate ordinary users from mega-users because their interests are simply totally different. If mega-users want to use systemd and other mega-software let them, but let ordinary users use what suits them as well.

I have seen the light! I'm sure you could find a way to use your computer without software like systemd. You will save some time, but you will lose your freedom. Bad trade for my preference.
