"just have to" is not good enough. not documented enough, and what's
with having to learn yet another commandline with non-standard disk
enumeration and partition numbering? this MAY be excellent for someone
who uses it daily maybe but I need it only once every few weeks or
months, Muggles will only use it once a year or less. Why should someone
start searching non-existant info pages each time?! the lilo.conf file
is so much simpler that I rarely needed the manpage other than for smart
menucoloring or password features, which are definitely perks more than
basic features.

In grub even the install procedure is crual and unusual, not to mention
the odd configuration that may or may not follow :)
