I respect that, do you really want to discard that knowledge and learning for something else just cause it's new?

People don't go for systemd because it is new. They go for systemd because in many respects it works better than what was used before.

It is funny how most of the arguments the SysV-init proponents use against systemd today (it is too complicated, it solves problems that don't exist, the existing solutions are powerful enough, …) might have been used against SysV init when that was new in the 1980s. The only argument against systemd that would not have applied to SysV init at the time seems to be »it was written by Lennart Poettering«.
