    I don’t think I could name one thing that systemd improved for me. But I can name at least one major annoyance that made things worse for me.

    The real issue is the backwards incompatibility which essentially forced everyone to switch instead of being able to choose.

    For that alone I will keep disliking it.

      Not specifically about systemd, but some things can’t be backwards compatible because they might want to just do things different.

      Nobody was forced to change, the distros saw the options and decided in favor of systemd, the same they decide a million other things.

        Nobody was forced to change,

        Red hat dominated the market and pushed it on out. You must remember this, don’t you?

          I’d encourage you to go read the discussions Arch Linux and Debian before deciding to go with systemd
