"The convenience of custom commands like /etc/init.d/nginx configtest to check my nginx configuration syntax without affecting the running nginx service is useful enough to keep me from migrating my nginx daemonization to Upstart." Needing to run "nginx -t" instead of "/etc/init.d/nginx configtest" seems like a minor tradeoff for the benefits Upstart provides. It's even shorter to type!
