Nonsense!! It has its own design flaw. I'm against everything pid-1 crap!! and merging udev with systemd is pure political just to make life difficult for non systemd init systems. But it doesn't mean it is not on par with other init systems. Infact, it is the best when it comes to non-blocking parallel startup. upstart or openrc can't compete with it. Then, there is systemd-nspawn which is one hell of a replacement for any chroot implementation. It uses everything kernel offers (pid namespaces, networking namespaces, cgroups) to make a os level virtualization. Supporting multiple init systems for every upper layer components (GUI Environments) is not just an easy task. Thats what debian package maintainers would have felt and thats why they would have voted for systemd. People just hate systemd because it does what a init system doesn't need to do, like producing binary logs instead of text, not allowing your OS to produce coredumps by default (I know how freebsd guy will say "Seriously!!?? don't touch my /etc/rc.local or I'll kill you!!")
