Using an init daemon that actually does its job of supervising services, and lets us get rid of most of the stupidity and boilerplate of init scripts, otoh, is overdue.
I think supervising services and faster boot are nice. Faster boot is nice for end users as well as for servers. The latter mainly because it gives more time for actual response time in case of an intervention that needs down time.
