Same here. Systemd totally destroyed Debian's stability for me. It got to the point where I couldn't do routine updates without systemd typically breaking in some obscure way. I can't have that nonsense going on with the servers I'm responsible for. So I slowly migrated them over to OpenBSD and things couldn't be better.
systemd was what pushed me into trying out FreeBSD seriously for the first time, three years ago, after 15+ years of Debian as a user and develop. So many stupid problems. FreeBSD was like a breath of fresh air, and I wish I'd tried it out years ago. Today, I'm using FreeBSD increasingly, contributing to the ports here and there, and finding it to be mostly pretty good. Not as polished as Debian in every respect, but the package manager is continually improving and it's on a par with apt at this point.

I'd be more concerned about the effects of systemd on the Linux distributions. :)

After running Linux for a decade, systemd pushed me to try both FreeBSD and OpenBSD for the first time ever.
