What I like about this article is that it provides a reasoned argument for his position. It's not just the usual anti-systemd rant.
I've never had a serious problem with systemd, but then I use very simple systems: no LVM, no encryption, etc. I actually like the systemd control files; I find them easy to write. init scripts have to be so complicated in order to be bullet-proof that I wouldn't even dare to try editing one.
The binary journal is supposed to have the advantage of allowing selective displays, but it certainly sucks for troubleshooting a bad boot. Fortunately you can attach syslog to an output socket that journald provides, to get a plain text messages file for emergencies. I'm surprised actually that he didn't do that.
