For 99% of uses, esp desktop, laptop, embedded... it's great.
For that tiny percent of use cases where services can do all kinds of crazy things and there needs to be extra control, other things like supervisor, foreman_god, daemontools/runit come into play. There are use-cases not many people have to deal with or even exposed to, yet are important considering the impact (say downing a major service like Gmail).
