I am weary of GRUB and try to avoid it. The codebase is legendary for its inscrutability, bugs and performance issues abound and its configuration ritual is ridiculous.

And yet, it is king of bootloaders for a reason. It can frigging boot HannaMontanaBSD on an ENIAC. It can boot in UEFI mode, in BIOS mode, it is a chameleon that fits the hardware it is situated in. The devs have made a heroic piece of software.

Perhaps the inscrutability of the code and its issues are inevitable given the scope of the project. I don't know, I just wish we had a more sane codebase with GRUB's capabilities.
