I actually like the current bootloader, and
plymouth loading screen. Having a bland, grey interface that
only shows me high level information such as "Fedora, Windows 8"
etc is not my idea of progress. It also give me instant view
into which kernel version I am booting. I admit I sometimes get
a kernel update without noticing it until I boot and see it in
the grub menu.
I just dont see the point of changing a functional
bootloader interface to be plain and gray. Nor do I see the
point of getting rid of the Fedora logo / plymouth filling in,
in favor of bland "spiny thing".
I am in agreement with the previous replier: My
first reaction would be to curse the person whom changed a
functional bootloader into a whack-a-mole attempt to find out
what the heck is going on.
