I like it, as well. It simplifies many things and no practical functionality is sacrificed.<p>Most arguments against sysyemd appear to be appeals to tradition, not based on any technical deficiency. In actual use I have found no fault with it and it does make some things easier.<p>The only argument against sysyemd that I find somewhat sympathetic is the fact that there is always a cost to pay when migrating to and learning about something new. This is certainly true. However, I find the user experience of systemd to be superior, and this small upfront price seems worth paying.
