I use lilo on assorted tired old bits of kit.
The fact it can't cope with GPT and what have you isn't a problem.
I will be using lilo on old kit until they fall over.
Grub1 was getting a bit tired. I can understand why they felt grub2 was
needed.
I was running debian unstable during the changeover from grub to grub2.
What fun was had! For a couple of weeks you were never sure if your
computer would boot after an upgrade.
I got really good at working around that.

Hopefully something will happen with it, personally I'd use grub but
it does some fancy stuff I'm not a fan of.
Grub is the systemd of bootloaders. It's all about pretty colors, nice
images, and hiding the fact that processes are being instantiated.
What's so sad is that grub 1 was wonderful. One file, everything was
easy and obvious. Grub2 has different but similar executables, and you
go traipsing all over a tree of numbered files to change every little
thing, or else unauthorizedly change the already compiled version and
hope nothing overrides it.
