Approximately all interfaces for humans to control computers (and 
absolutely all interfaces that involve using typical computer human 
input devices like keyboards, mice, etc.) are non-intuitive, so saying 
"systemd is non-intuitive" is meaningless for all practical purposes.

What *is* fair to say is that some people find that they already had 
acceptable solutions to all the problems they have which systemd is 
intended to solve, and therefore - quite justifiably! - have no desire 
to learn a new set of interfaces for solving those problems. I - and 
indeed most systemd proponents - have no quarrel with those people.

Some of the people who are in that position proceed to generalize their 
own distaste for, and lack of need for, systemd into a claim that 
systemd cannot possibly be solving any problems for anyone. A few of 
them go further still, and proceed to agitate for Angra Mainyu to be 
depicted with Lennart Poettering's face.
