Its not about systemd bad becaus unix philosophy!111!!! its about I wanna choose my init system independent from distro of my choise.
For my use I didn't really encounter that many issues. I used OpenRC, and had some issues with betterlockscreen, but I think I solved it fairly fast with xss-lock. Since I also a MX Master 3 I had some issues with having the logiops daemon start a startup, but also this wasn't much of an issue because of the Gentoo forums.
