I've switched everything I write to use runit because runit doesn't require any particular init system, you can easily integrate it with sysvinit, freebsd's RC, ubuntu's upstart, systemd, etc. It just runs on top and doesn't need to be the king and it's incredibly simple to write scripts for it. Completely removes the need to worry about this init mess.

I did too. At one point. Then I abandoned all that in favor of NixOS. It uses systemd and I don't care.
