i don't get people whose response to all the init nonsense discourse as of late is "actually traditional init is nice, see, you can just go and modify these shell scripts"

no it's not

it's inflexible, annoying, harder to use, and harder to make out what's going on whenever things get more than very very basic

if there's something really bad about the bsds it's the crusty rc system

a supervision system (ideally a dependency-based one) can be far nicer, more flexible, more readable, and actually meeting what most people expect out of a computer these days

i don't wanna go to systemd, i sure as hell don't wanna go back to the old days either, we can do way better
