Loved OpenRC when I was still a Gentoo daily driver. These days on I'm systemd like almost everyone else but I will never forget how advanced it felt for it's time. It predated Upstart and systemd by several years but was already fully event-based with parallel execution etc BUT it didn't sacrifice the best parts of sysv to get there. At the end of the day you still had a bunch of relatively easily to debug shell scripts. Running Gentoo with OpenRC meant booting in a fraction of time of other distros out of the box. I appreciate the format of systemd unit files but they result in much of the complexity, corner cases etc being baked into systemd itself reducing debugability. systemd has it's own killer features ofc like systemd-nspawn and friends.
