Replaces crontab with something auditable that actually makes sense and is easy to use
Is there an easier/quicker way than having to create a service unit and a timer unit by hand?

Maybe one of those tools? www.linux-magazine.com/…/Systemd-Graphical-Tools or something Ansible github.com/vlcty/ansible-systemd-timers / yourlabs.io/oss/yourlabs.timer

But of I have to use separate tools... Can't I just use a generator for a crontab? That's not an advantage

I believe if you create a crontab on a systemd system, it actually synthesizes systemd timers from the crontab entries
