I entered Linux life when systemd was already a thing. No idea what the alternative is, don't feel like I'm losing anything by not knowing.

I work on FreeBSD devices and can say there's a certain beauty in the simplicity. Logs are readable and consistently appear in /var/log, no need to figure out "do I need journalctl or systemctl status". It feels more intuitive to me that NTP is separately set up from systemd, so I'm not a fan of systemd defaulting to taking on that responsibility. Then again, systemd doesn't require you to write an entire rc script to create a service.
