I've been a linux user for years, but I've avoided the systemd debate so far. The criticisms seem valid, so I'm wondering about the practicality of using a non-systemd distro.

What's the experience like with a different init? Any pitfalls, software incompatibilities or other issues I should be aware of? If I were to switch to say Devuan what are the pros / cons of using SysVinit, OpenRC or Runit? Are they fairly easy to create new services, check the status and all that?
