I am actually a Grub-user, but I must say that since LILO went graphical, there is really no reason not to use LILO. Grub has some cool things, but now LILO does as well. LILO, in addition to what GRUB does, includes the option to change the default boot ONLY for the next boot, it, forces a check of the config before rebooting with it, and all the information is located in the BR, not requiring another partition to finish the loading. I still like GRUB because I haven't found LILO to be as flexible when I need a boot disk. Simply using the Install CD, I can boot to GRUB, change a line or two in the canned GRUB config and I'm booting off my HD, using either the kernel on the CD or the kernel on the HD. Great local-access hack-tool :)
