The page I linked to includes argumentation both for and against all
the four init system options that were considered for Debian. Of
course the systemd page there is for advocating systemd, but you can
also read the argumentations against its use in the pages of other
inits. And as far as I know, the systemd page is at least reasonably
correct in its facts.

If you need a rebuttal specifically for the other article, I currently
do not know where I could point you. But in my opinion, the Debian
debate pages are one of the better places to get an overview of the
merits of different init options. While the debate resulted in Debian
picking systemd, just valuing the various technical aspects
differently could have had a different result in that discussion. The
facts in there should still be reasonably right.
