Mainly that it's simpler, as a bootloader should be. However it does
have some nice features, such as making nice looking, interactive
menus. You can also edit the config file by hand, if you need to, and
it's all contained on the boot partition.
The biggest problem with grub 2 is it adds a dependency on having your
main root partition already mounted in order to configure it. That may
not be available. Also, when you learn extlinux then you know syslinux,
isolinux, and pxelinux already which helps when configuring boot
loaders for those other media.

If you need a shell, boot a minimal kernel and shell from a ramdisk. No
good reason to bloat a bootloader with that.
