True, but I think the point I'm trying to make is that when it comes to deploying (what are more often than not) web services, getting to the point with systemd where it "just works" requires more pain than I'd like - especially with regard to production deployments (reading logs, checking service status, wondering why my env vars aren't being read, etc).

If at the time when I was cutting my teeth on systemd, I had access to something more lightweight and "do one thing well", I think I would've gotten a lot more sleep :)
