I wish they would fix the UI and make it idiot-proof.
I'm dealing with servers every day and Grub still gives me headache every time I have to deal with it.
I know it's a low-level tool and tackling a hairy problem. But the overall handling is just terrible (chrooting, insufficient error/debug output, insufficient transparency about what the current state is and what grub is doing/going to do, etc.).
When shuffling raid-sets around often enough I'm not even sure from which drive it booted (or didn't boot) in a particular instance, there's way too much trial & error involved for my taste.
