This is why i dislike systemd. Things not working the way I expect means I have to do more work to figure something out.

"The way you expect" is probably inconsistent and, upon closer inspection, completely broken. There is a reason why systemd became the default and other niche init systems have faded into obscurity. Sure, it may be more complex than your pile of shell scripts, but that's because it does the same things better, and has a lot more functionality that you will need at some point, and good luck replicating that by hacking…
Yes, it is part of the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy

In my experience, systemd is much better documented, way more consistent, and way more reliable than what came before.

I guess it depends on your source of info but I've found what came before was pretty comprehensively & accessibly documented, at least as well as systemd, which - while well documented - suffers from sprawl & overwhelm of the docs. There's just SO MUCH to grok in comparison.

Well, in my experience, systemd has much worse documentation, is very inconsistent (or you could say it is constistantly brain-dead), and extremely unreliable and unpredictable, since it often hangs when shutting down and rebooting.
If you have 20+ years of experience, you’ll will NEVER get it to work the way you expect, might as well install Gentoo.
