You are absolutely correct.
So my new projects are not out yet, but I will market them heavily once they are.
One of them is an init system specifically designed to be easier to use than runit and $6, while still being sane, unlike systemd. Yes, I'm going to focus on ease of use because as you said, that matters a lot.
However, I do have a project out in the public now. It ships with the base system in FreeBSD and also ships with Mac OSX. It is a command-line tool that lots of people may use in bash scripts.
Is that widespread enough?
Also, one reason people adopted mine over the GNU alternative is speed.

- gavinhoward 3y agoNot done yet, unfortunately. That's why it's not public yet. But it will be based on a state management system (aka build system) that is almost done. Can you tell me what is sharp about runit? I will have a better chance of avoiding the same mistakes if I know exactly what annoys users about it.
