I don't hate it but I certainly wish to avoid it for as long as possible.

I see no advantages over alternative modern init systems and a ton of disadvantages. I think it's bloated, even if you can disable much of it, I don't care for the binary log format, and I don't want to support something that is encouraging so much dependency and unnecessary inter-connectedness.

Not to mention it doesn't have the best security history.

In another sense, it seems like Windows at some of its worse. The very same people who used to bitch about the registry now advocate for systemd, which I think is kind of weird.

What's your favorite init system?

I use OpenRC because it's fine and works, I have no issues with it. It has limitations, from memory it can't do parallelization - I'm waiting for s6 to mature so it can work with Alpine, but that's current a work in progress, at least last I checked.
