Well IMO GRUB2 is less than half-baked for UEFI anyway when it comes to Ux. It works, it boots, it's grotesquely inelegant and complicated. There should be a distinction between a boot loader and boot manager, while GRUB2 conflates them into one thing.

A better user experience, by far, for UEFI is rEFInd.efi as the boot manager, and using efistub (the linux efi bootloader) as the bootloader. But then this lacks, at the moment, a nice way to deal with btrfs snapshots and optionally boot them (which GRUB2 can do).
