GRUB used to be really bad, about 4-5 years ago. But now I've seen it working flawlessly for the past 2 years and I finally trust it.
It's actually a lot more flexible and powerful than lilo... I think you'd like it. But it's not something that there's much purpose in changing to for almost everyone, few people really do much with their boot loader.
