Out of all the Linux init systems out there, which one are you actually daily driving right now and why? Have you tried any others before your current one? What made you stick with it over the rest?

I can’t deny it. Standards are good. Having a (POSIX compliant) shell script run everywhere, for instance, is very useful.
As is the case with another person in this thread, I’m also only using the init system to start, stop and check the status of a couple of services, so the unifying benefits of systemd don’t apply to me – but when something has a hard dependency on it without a reason other than “everyone else is using it, why aren’t you?” I get very suspicious of the alleged motives behind that particular choice of system init.
