I was very skeptical myself. Specifically, the whole Upstart thing
turned me off to the idea of sysvinit replacements for quite some time.
It wasn't until I realized that most of the distributions switched and
that RHEL 7 was going to use it that I started learning it---quite
reluctantly.
It took a while to convince me. It wasn't until I cross-compiled a
standalone busybox-based system for the R? that I realized that this was
/exactly/ what we need. I built 5 packages, configured the boot
process, and it actually worked. I got a shell on the console. After
stripping all of the binaries, it was /tiny/. And could fit on
/anything/ we have today, save for places where there is no hope for the
Linux kernel to ever run, such as a PIC or AVR 8-bit MCU.
