Oh, yeah.  I've been there and done that, too; I rather prefer this way
of doing things myself, though.  I think that the hardest part about
runlevels for me was being unable to explain to people that the system
is the same, regardless, and that the only thing special about runlevels
was that they were doing things for you that you could do by hand if you
wanted.  Of course, on non-SysV systems, that's pretty much how it works
anyway.  BSD doesn't even use runlevels, so you do it all by hand
anyway.  They're just a mechanism that can help (or hinder) you in
administering systems.  I think that runlevels are overkill for
workstations, and I think that they can even be overkill for servers,
myself.  I prefer the idea of "Booting, Single user, Running, or Reboot"
as the "runlevels" of a system.  Keeps things simple and relatively
consistent.
