Oh, yes. I never really wrote a ton of systemv init scripts, but I wrote enough to always find it kind of a pain. Writing systemd units by comparison? Heavenly. What really sealed the deal for me was when I needed a service to automatically restart itself if it died. Restart=always, RestartSec=10, done. If it dies, it's back up in 10 seconds. I wouldn't even know how to do that with an init script, and though of course I could write something out with enough time and patience, how could that be an improvement over two easily-understood lines?
