I am. Currently I am not aware of any serious effort besides the systemd project to provide a coherent, modern core userland for Linux distros.<p>Previously, every distro built their own init systems and core tools to manage services, leading to meaningless differences in an area where heterogeneity is not a benefit, but hinders progress instead.<p>I don&#x27;t really have an opinion one way or the other about the rest of the project&#x27;s tools like networkd or the dhcp server and what have they, but having a working service manager <i>out of the box</i> (which means it actually gets used by default!)  has already made my life easier compared to the old sysvinit thing that couldn&#x27;t even reliably tell you if your services were running or not, never mind anything more advanced.
