I'm a very happy Arch user. And I admit at first even I had a little resistance to the systemd idea because at that time I hadn't seen it really proven yet. I had found myself wary because I had been burned almost every time I used Pulse Audio. (I could go on for ages of why I think PA should die in a fire, but I'll spare you.) I've also had some negative experiences with Avahi I won't get into here. Then I finally did the systemd switch. Liked how fast it made things and how much easier it made perusing events that happened on my system through the journal and the fact it can tell me the states of all my units. It makes figuring out why <INSERT DAEMON HERE> did not run as expected. Then I did research into more of why the change was made and found it even nicer than the traditional BSD-style init Arch used previously, found it was trivial to look into unit files instead of having to decypher initscripts. I say kudos to the Arch devs for implementing systemd. And kudos to Debian for actually wading through all the non-technical fearmongering people have about systemd and actually sticking to the facts about systemd and why it's a better, if not best, choice for Linux right now.
