I miss LILO, life was song much simpler, to this day I barely understand grub beyond basic kernel parameters.

You may have a look attt elilo which is lilo with efi support. Slackware still ship it. https://sourceforge.net/projects/elilo/

Cool, specially now that I am dealing with a pure UEFI motherboard.

20 something years ago, LILO was default on many distros and you had a choice. Not sure how grub took over.

Flexibility.

The isolinux package has boot methods that work on HDs, and are set up very similar to LILO. Not sure why it never took off with distros.

I have fond memories of using SYSLINUX + MEMDISK to make DOS bootdisks which loaded themselves into RAM. Mostly to play games in the library.

I miss LOADLIN

LOADLIN with UMSDOS certainly brings back memories.

-2 points, yikes.. not sure if if that's 3 angry people that had to deal with LILO not working or 3 people thinking I was just spamming who never had the pleasure of dealing with LILO.
