If I wanted Grub features, I would use Grub. I like Syslinux better, so
I use Syslinux.

I've heard enough raving from those that like Grub that I would forget
about the bloat if I wanted to use it. After all, most of what I've seen
in it that I consider bloat is the features that make other users rave.
(Not being a C/C++ programmer, I've not examined Grub's code.) I don't
need something that complicated and I don't need the software to hold my
hand.

So I use Syslinux. Syslinux works the way I want it to. I am very happy
with Syslinux. :-) 

Just my $0.02.
