I've never really seen any reason to switch to UEFI since it appeared years ago. It just looked much more complicated (and buggy at the time), for no reasonable gain. I'm currently using BIOS, grub, grub2 basically everywhere, even on fresh new machines, for the simple reason that grub2 is really flexible; recently with GPT and code-EF02 bios boot partition. (GPT scheme 21686148-6449-6E6F-744E-656564454649: "Hah!IdontNeedEFI") In some cases I have complex setups where grub2 is installed two times, with the first one offering some entries, including chainloading the second one for additional entries (possibly on a different drive not always connected and which each operating system having their own grub2 and /boot). These things are either impossible with UEFI or would require learning everything again. I've seen lilo, grub and grub2, which has matured for years; we have finally started to understand it fully, we got the new blscfg thing too, and now... everything reinvented again? IMHO the firmware (BIOS/UEFI/something) should just be able to run a bootloader, everything else added is not an advantage.
