Systemd criticism comes from many directions and usually focuses on a few points

opaque: as a result, systemd has a lot more internal complexity that people can't easily wrap your mind around. However I argue that unless you're using something like suckless' sinit with your own scripts, you probably have no idea what your init does today anyways
unstable: this was definitely true even in the first stable release, with the binary log format getting corrupted for example. I haven't personally experienced any trouble with it recently though.

\begin{frame}{Systemd criticism}
Systemd has been heavily criticised, usually focusing around a few points:
\begin{itemize}
\item Feature-creep: Systemd absorbs more and more other services
\item Opaque: systemd's inner workings are harder to understand than old \texttt{init}
\item Unstable: development is quick and breakage happens
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Systemd adoption}
Systemd was initially adopted by RedHat (and related distributions).
It spread quickly to others, for example ArchLinux.
Debian and Ubuntu were the last major players who decided to adopt it, but not without drama.
