There are many threads about SystemD here at LQ. You might consider using the LQ search to find them. You'll probably find more about SystemD-hate and -love than you want to know.
It could be that when they use it, they were not sure of the settings and everything fails. And from that time on, the hatred for systemd has sprouted.

True for developers. There were a few complaints about the quality of their work in the LKML.
For the rest of the GNU/Linux ecosystem the issue is a philosophical one. If Linux is a replacement for MacOS, Windows, or proprietary Unix for you, then you might not care as long as it works without issue. For those who care about Linux mainly because of the freedom it offers to configure your system as you see fit, to install or uninstall any piece of software, to have absolute control over every little piece of it, this is a very serious problem.
For me, personally, I refuse to be *told* what to do with my own computer. Granted, we are not there yet, but we are uncomfortably close. I would imagine many similar minded people exist within our community.
Just like with all tech-related "religious" wars, people hate systemd because if they didn't hate it, there wouldn't have a good excuse to make useless posts in internet forums.
Remove systemd and it will gut your system.
Somewhat more relevant then any vi / emacs war.
I'd be fine with systemd if it didn't decimate my system if I want / need to use another init system.
I does not matter much about it, anyhow, systemd is there and it means how bad has become programming today in Linux. This is a good reason to have *BSD systems.
Doesn't it have vulnerabilities? I saw a thread here linking to a YT video about systemd vulnerabilities, and that could also be another reason why so many people hate it.

there are thousand reasons Funny that it came up.
I wonder why people don't stick to programming principles sometimes. Small programs are better than an huge one.

Trust-wise, I absolutely agree with you. BSDs look to be saner systems in a lot of ways. Strong philosophical differences, but I am truly glad that they exist.
