Sure, I'll pile on here. To do nontrivial scheduling you'd use the entirely-obvious-and-intuitive syntax described at [0]. For example:

  Mon,Fri *-01/2-01,03 *:30:45
Who'd ever want to go back crontab format for nontrivial scheduling? [1]

[1] This question is sarcasm. SystemD is often like this... dead simple things look dead simple, but complex things are -if they're possible at all- at least as complex as they are everywhere else.

If you know the syntax, it's still actually rather trivial. Still easier to read than advanced cron magic.

Looking at the other examples on that page, I'm gonna say that it's only arguably easier to read for basic stuff... especially if you're familiar with the syntax. The complex stuff is -at best- just as difficult.
