I've heard people complain about GRUB but never heard anyone give any
particular reasons.  Perhaps it's a little bloated, and the config file a
bit complex but it is the Grand Unified bootloader, so that shouldn't be
surprising.

In any case, it's a lot better than LILO was.  I no longer have to deal
with having being unable to boot because I installed a new kernel, but
forgot to run "lilo" afterwards.
