Presently enjoying dCore-jessie, BusyBox-based Tiny Core variant that wgets debs from Debian repos and uses scripts to convert them into useable extensions. Most software converts, not all, guess why. Actually it's not just systemd. Sometimes kernel or driver, BusyBox or need for a special startup script. Regular Tiny Core and the Puppy Linux releases have the same issues. There's always a work around or alternative. Some software built in-house but most of the stuff that doesn't work don't want anyway.
Old-school Unix in many ways. Script driven, CLI managed, vi, no graphics with base install, less than one application per task. Setup Xorg and Fluxbox. Entire system uses ~170mb drive space. Booting to graphics uses i believe ~50mb RAM, presently using 67mb while running Dillo, emelfm and xterm.
Merry Christmas everyone, all the best non-systemd users.
