Far more development appears to go into Syslinux than Grub2. There were five different versions of Syslinux released in 2013 and one at the end of last year. I find Syslinux much easier to build, configure and use. It's small, light, and fast. Surely, all we require of a bootloader is to boot the system. Again, as you say: "simpler is better".
grub can be complicated, but we actually make it fairly easy. The build is CMMI with a few extra configure switches. The configuration file is about 10 lines long. It's the commercial distros that make it complicated.
