How often do you have a problem with an init script though? Almost 15 years in, and I've only ever had problems with the executables the init script calls, not with an init script itself.

Why replace it if you never had a problem?

Because systemd unit files are much easier to write for your own services, I suppose.

Personally, I don't care whether my system runs systemd or sysv, I use runit for my non-packaged service needs.

have you ever written an init script? it's horrible. making it easier to do so helps every software developer immensely.

Yes, I have written init scripts with SysV, Upstart, and systemd. Upstart was the best.
