systemd is an init system, like with anything else it's up to the individual distribution's which init system they use.
I wouldn't worry about the inner workings of Linux distributions just yet. There is plenty of debates about systemd you'll find all over the Internet about it. It's best to make up your own mind about it.
Distribution: Slackware/Salix while testing others

+100, we don't need to know how to rebuild an engine in order to drive, that comes later if there's interest.

"systemd" – A init replacement daemon designed to start process in parallel, implemented in a number of standard distribution – Fedora, OpenSuSE, Arch, RHEL, CentOS, etc.
"init" is a abbreviation for Initialization. The init is a daemon process which starts as soon as the computer starts and continue running till, it is shutdown. In-fact init is the first process that starts when a computer boots, making it the parent of all other running processes directly or indirectly and hence typically it is assigned "pid=1".
