I still prefer Syslinux but it's still not officially supporting UEFI yet :(

The only time I would want Grub is for that reason primarily. But it makes sense to be very familiar with Grub so you can not be screwed up by systems you encounter which may have been set up, "grub-reinstalled", or configured by those who are not as familiar as they should have been.

Once you do have a regular ordinary multiboot system or SSD that includes one or more Linux installs, with Grub working well, then adding the themes like this is only the icing on the cake.
