Grub isn't hard to work with, it's one of the simpler boot managers out
there, especially considering it's files are still plain text, so adding
a partition is trivially easy.
Or, at least, it used to be, I've not fiddled with grub boot information
for many years, because it's never failed on me, but I don't do complex
boot systems anymore either, so perhaps that's the reason, but still, as
long as major changes haven't been made, it should still be a simple
thing to manually modify the boot file grub uses if you don't like the
way it builds the options for you.

Just run it an emulator, then. It's progress, allegedly.
The first reason to run DOS is to run a serious boot manager. The Win
boot manager is serious in the wrong way. So far I have seen nothing
good about Grub.
