You are a pompous ass, you really should go back to your salesman job.
It fits you.

And grub sucks. Sure it works for millions (really, millions?) of
people, but then so does Windows, would you argue that Windows is
better than Linux simply because there are more people who got it to
work?

I say that having been a systems admin for 5 years, and an operator for
10 years, and tech support for another 5 years. Salesman for only two
weeks.

grub sucks. Even the documentation is unclear as to whether grub
resides in /boot/grub or /boot/boot/grub.

Oh, bloody hell, I'd rather run a VMS system! Give me bootstrings!
