Just learned of timers the other day, but I'm a cron guy, anybody out there using timers? Anything I'm missing out on?

Automatic failure handling, advanced logging, independent execution environment control, cgroups support, service dependency management...

On the negative side, it takes slightly more work to configure timed tasks and there's no integrated email support.

Refer to the Arch Wiki for more detailed information.
