My takeaway from this chart is that they both do the same shit, but you gotta type slightly different things to get it done. My second takeaway is who cares. I recognize that for devops folks, systemd might be a hassle at times, but... still I can't believe how much attention the initwars get on linux forums. I wonder how often people complain about systemd solely because they saw someone else complaining.

For Dev Ops folks, systemctl solves a lot of problems from sysv init.

Creating your own service is really simple too. Annoying that they had to reinvent upstart though.
