+1 to both Alan and Neil.

That echoes my own sentiment pretty well. OpenRC is one reason I stayed with
Gentoo, because it seemed better to me than the way other distros did things
(well, better than Suse, at least, which was the other distro I tried way back
then).
However, now I default to systemd, because for me it's even better than
OpenRC. Plus, I don't have so many systems that I couldn't migrate them all
:-) .
