I use OpenRC on my servers, systemd on my desktop/productive-mode laptop. On some servers I use s6 toolset. Those are nice. OpenRC is nice. It gets the work done, its so small, its easy to do things with it, and it has less problems than systemd - which I experience on the desktop. Example, started using networkd for managing networks, because hey why not, and NetworkManager is shit, I had gotten tired of typing wpa-supplicant and dhcpcd commands manually. But then, systemd apparantly takes control over the networking subsystem not only the network interfaces - it changes sysctl flags and doesnt delete after itself when asked to stop - it leaves any addresses and other configuration changes it had done. What!? edit: As all things, systemd-networkd has its place, its just not on a developers laptop, maybe it would be great to have in some kind of cloud environment where you have to configure hordes of machines and virtual machines in them, with networking and networking subsystem configured correctly. Then its nice to have a "do-it-all" tool, but then you should also probably swallow the rest of RedHats output, such as Ansible and look at Project Atomic.
