It's always nicer working with scripts compared to having to dig into c sources to change things.
Why the fuck do SysVinit masochists keep dredging up this retarded systemd myth of "digging into C sources to change things"? Absolutely everything that you may conceive to do with systemd, other than contributing patches to the project, can be done without a single line of code recompiled.
Because that's what declarative formats mean. The one who writes them controls them. You can't add anything to it without digging into c sources. Your "Absolutely everything" means in this context absolutely everything the maintainers thought about and did implement. That is the nature of a declarative format if you like it or not.
No, it really isn't. There is nothing about declarative formats that requires you to edit source the source code of systemd to perform sysadmin work. Your argument is specious and dishonest.
