Hi,
My real problem with grub2 is not that it's complex, but the fact
that
it exposes its complexities to the user.
The config file syntax is a mess indeed. The fact that you need a
config generator tool in the first place speaks volumes ...
But note that grub config files don't have to be as complex as the
grub2-mkconfig generated ones.
I'm willing to try systemd-boot on a virtual machine, to see if
it
makes things easier, but the fact it doesn't support BIOS makes it not
very usable for me.

Image boots in both uefi (sd-boot) and bios (grub2) mode, and the config
file for the latter is so short that I can include it here without
hitting the mailing list size limit ;)
