Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of systemd I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I've been using a non-systemd environment for a while and must say I'm surprised by how little breaks, i.e., next to nothing. Moreover, boot and shutdown times are faster, and more of that good stuff. I suggest trying it out.

I have. Never had your machine just sit there and refuse to boot because a network share is down? Or because the wifi isn't connected yet?

I absolutely have. The solution wasn't found in the init system, though, but by giving my NFS mounts the nofail option in /etc/fstab. Filesystem handling isn't init's job.

Overall I haven't had significantly more or less issues with systemd over OpenRC. I'm not a particularly big fan of their approach to things but their init system is perfectly serviceable.
