I don't think there's anything visually wrong with systemd-boot, so long as 
it's showing a menu like gummiboot did.

Actually, it doesn't do enough to be able to actually boot Fedora systems. 
Please note that full disk encryption is a supported scenario in Fedora, as is 
encrypted /boot or /boot on Btrfs. systemd-boot is not capable of getting 
bootloader configuration files in this case, so your system will never boot.

As for making it the default, I can't see any reason to do that. Standardizing 
on the best bootloader seems like the safe bet, i.e. use GRUB2 everywhere 
possible, and support boot from u-boot, zipl, petitboot, etc. where it's not 
available.
