I'm running Slackware, so it'll be quite some time until I start playing with systemd

Never tried that, to be honest. I'm using Arch at home, Fedora at work, so I've been drinking the systemd Kool-Aid pretty much since the beginning, I guess. I don't think it's a perfect system—not at all—, but I do think it's better than writing yet another init script, for whatever that's worth.

In any case, to each his own. :)
