I've managed Unix and Linux systems for over 10 years. I prefer systemd based systems where possible. Hit me up offline (email is in the resume linked in my profile) for technical reasons if you care.
Taking a conversation that started in public offline when there is an expressed interest in this very thread just doesn't follow.
Process management is built in and sophisticated (restarts, timeouts, conditions, limits etc.).
The dependency system is amazing for ensuring your system fails sensibly: I can link mountpoints to processes, and easily guarantee that a mail daemon only runs when its network mount is ready, and then make it also shutdown if that mount goes away for any reason. This is huge for self-documenting infrastructure - you can ensure that even manual intervention in the system won't leave it in a weird state, and the why is all right there.
