Personally I haven’t. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it’s whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

    • It violates the whole does one thing principle. this is of course much more than a beauty-related offense. Modular design is central to good software engineering.
    • Log files are no longer simple text files you can watch, grep, or work with – again violating a major Unix principle and making a zillion other things that would “just work”, have to be done with special systemd hooks/options/yadda
    • The problems it solves could have been solved with a reasonably well contained change to SysV init, and probably made optional. Single-user setups don’t need server-farm complexity.

      Single-user setups don’t need server-farm complexity.

      True, but Linux devs only have a limited amount of time. It’s far easier to take a system that can handle server-farm complexity and apply it to a single user use case, than it is to take a system meant for single users and try to scale it up to a server farm, or to maintain two separate systems.

        I’m saying that complexity could easily be modularized inside SysV init, not requiring a restructuring of things like “logfiles are no longer files in /var/log”

          that complexity could easily be

          That phrase has proven to be a source of endless headaches any time someone in charge is stupid enough to believe the person that tries to sell them that.
