I will admit one major problem with systemd is lack of user education,
so partly the users fault, and partly the fault of bad documentation.

The main gpsd related symptom I see of this is that when people try to
experiment with systemd they find it difficult, maybe impossible, to get
systemd to stop trying to manage the gpsd daemon, and the gpsd port.

Coupled with no clear feedback to clue the user into why his attempts
are being siliently thwarted.

Noting the problems other have with it, I have avoided systemd.  It is
clearly not ready for prime time.

At a higher level, systemd looks to me like software designed by newbies.

They fail to know, much less understand, the corners of the complex
problems they are trying to solve, then come up with inflexible
solutions, user hostile solutions, that work for the mainstream user
that never tweaks his distro.  Being inflexible they violate core
UNIX priciples and make customization impossible.

I can see why for support reasons Ubuntu wants to inflict inflexibility
on its users, but any hacker will feel trappped.

Newbies gotta start somewhere, but not in the init system.
