Maybe not bloated, but grub2 was certainly broken the last time I tried it. Specifically, (1) when I installed a system using grub2, it would install on the first drive it found grub on, never mind that I told it to install to a different drive. (2) I could never get it to work on an ISO, a thumb drive with the contents of the ISO (but not an ISO FS) and a hard drive. 3-4 weeks I spent building, testing, debugging. I gave up and went back to grub legacy. Four hours later I had it working as desired. If grub2 has improved in the past couple years (sounds like it hasn't), I'll eventually look at it again; if it hasn't, my system will remain with grub legacy (built with the huge RedHat patchset and a few of my own bug fixes).
