People seem to think it tries and do too much. As a sysadmin I love systemd, especially way more than the init scripts it replaced

It's not that it does too much it's that it's monolithic (you can't necessarily swap out components) combined with the fact that the project is gradually subsuming more and more of the userspace utilities. Having the entirety of the userspace half of the OS under a single umbrella seems like a bad idea.
