One point is that with grub, the config is on the data partition you
supply, rather than in the MBR (a la lilo), so there's no need to
reinstall grub for additional kernels.

And here I also agree, I cannot think of a good reason to use the ugly
'doze bootloader over grub or for that matter lilo as the primary boot
loader - you can even specify 'doze as the first choice and a quick
timeout if you have non-linux users switching your machines on.
