To be fair, there is no reason for a standard user to not to use systemd. You can easily find tutorials when you need them, which won't be a lot for your daily usage.

I switched to a systemd-less distro because I want simplicity and want every service on my system to be in my control. I cannot use systemd without copy-paste commands. With runit everything is simple.

Note that, some programs specifically check for systemd and for those you might need to adjust things accordingly, if you want to use an init system other than systemd. So again, if you don't want to deal with init systems, systemd just works.

I use Void Linux. It has runit and it's simple. If you want things kinda old-school there are distros that use OpenRC. There are a lot of init systems in the wild and that is a good thing, though you might find some of them quite barebones.

So if you want more control, why not? Just be ready to learn more things because systemd has more than what an init system do.
