Most certainly the Debian of old, being stable and trustworthy has

to the desktop users whom really want to use it that way.
It is a matter of publicly viewable archived record that of the people
who comprised the Technical Committee at the time of the vote on the
default init system for Debian jessie, the most visibly pro-systemd
person was Russ Allbery (who actually took the trouble to sit down with
upstart and systemd).
Russ Allbery is, by profession, a Unix system administrator of many
years' experience, and his basis for supporting systemd over both the
status quo and the other alternatives presented appears to have been in
significant part founded on that professional experience.
As such, I reject the notion that this is a "server vs. desktop" thing.
There are desktop users who have never run a server in their life who
utterly reject systemd, and server administrators who embrace it
wholeheartedly.
