Umm, GRUB does _dynamic_ boot resolution. LILO does _not_, it says "blindly boot this sector offset." That's why you have to re-install LILO everytime you change something.
That's the _key_ difference between the two.
Hence why GRUB is highly recommended over LILO, because you can resolve issues at boot-time -- including helping users over the phone without their having to have a rescue disk. GRUB is adding more and more disk label and filesystem support all-the-time.
Now if they'd only get LDM (Dynamic Disk) support, we'd be set!

P.S. You _can_ give LILO a "pretty GUI" just like GRUB.
