Well, you don't have to be an expert in bootloaders to use them these days.
For example, I don't even care about the format of syslinux.cfg, yet I
installed syslinux on my Arch router w/o any problems. You have to know about
MBR, initramfs and kernel image, but that's about it. On the other hand, if
someone wants to boot from an encrypted LVM volume with UEFI and GPT -- either
learn or use Fedora...
