yes, systemd somehow felt 'too different' for me. while i embrace new technology and ideas, i also like to stick to older stuff that's working 'just right'.
maybe i'm conservative here, but invalidating things that are working fine, is just like reinventing the wheel every two months (tm).

on the other side, change is a good thing imho. sticking too long with something that does not fit in anymore, is not really helping too.
a good change needs to adress an issue and bring some new value. with systemd i can just not really see the value of it. initscripts are plain text and understandable (ok one
could remove a ton of cruft from them

, but this whole symlinking in /etc/systemd really looks not like a great improvement to me.
no text-logfiles? c'mon!

basically it replaces nearly all gnu lowlevel commands with xxxctl commands, so it allready is an os inside an os somehow.

but i will try it out again with jessie, currently i'm still using wheezy. i think from a technical standpoint it should work ok by now, but i really didn't like
the style how red hat forced this onto the users and the philosopy of this 'one software to rule them all' aproach.
independend from this, i learned that the nsa uses red hat linux as their main os for xkeyscore (the software that makes all the bulkdata they steai easy accessable to the analysts) and probably on a lot more of their big iron,
that explained these huge earnings red hat had year for year verry good to me. so i switched to arch linux and then to debian using my rpi, as a training for the pyra os.
ps. down with selinux, too!
