According to the author, Laurent Bercot, the code for s6 is much cleaner than the systemd code. For anyone curious I guess the best way to find out is to compare and make a judgment of one’s own.
While I appreciate clean code when I have to work on it, it's somewhat orthogonal to my requirements when we're talking about running systems rather than building them.
I guess it could be preferred as a second-order factor.
In some ways yes, in other ways no. I've looked at both, and there is always a certain amount of "ugliness" that comes with writing low level C software for Unix.
