Except Upstart also has config files instead of shell scripts. And both of them support all your old sysv init scripts. And writing the config files is so much easier to get right the first time than rolling your own goddamn shell script by default.

On a sort of related note, I have never had an interaction with daemontools that wasn't miserable. I always find the fact that it gets waved around like a bloody shirt in these discussions terrible and terrifying.
