I'm using Void Linux which uses runit. Systemd is fine but runit works just as well. Void Linux has a bunch of other nice things (musl, xbps, build system, etc.). It would be a shame to overlook this fine distribution.
I love runit. It's simple and elegant, is in tune with the Unix Philosophy, and doesn't try to absorb a ton of unrelated, independent services into itself like systemd does.
If something like runit was chosen by RedHat and the distros that followed it, this holy war wouldn't exist.
I had just recently tried to install this, but then I encountered a very strange bug with Firefox where any tab crashed immediately upon opening with some sort of IPC error, and I tried searching around but couldn't find any mention of it anywhere. I ended up just giving up on fighting systemd and install Xubuntu.
