The proper question is "Is there anything worse that systemd?"

Systemd combines too many functions in one program and when Klaus
Knopper looked at it he did write his own startup.  In PCLinuxOS
we still use SysVinit and have few proplems in our Rolling Release
but I am just a user and when I first encounted systemd in
Mageia it was early days and I had lots of problems with it.
