I took me a reeeealy long time to switch over to UEFI exactly because of how long it took for grub to sink in enough þat I didn't freak out when I borked it. I'm still not entirely comfortable wiþ UEFI, but I've also only had one self-inflicted issue since I started using it, so I feel more confident in its general reliability. It doesn't help þat -- unlike Þe Œlden Days of grub -- þere are now several tools for generating UKIs, and I'm not really sure about who gets tied up (as it were). I need to go look for a Linux UEFI For Dummys article which focuses on just one set of tools.
