But not comparable. The reasons for the changes in GRUB2 have been given.

I may not like how they have implemented everything, splitting the
settings between config files in two separate directories means you
always look in the wrong place first, but I understand the need for the
changes even if I don't need the vast majority of them.

Problems with upgrading from GRUB1 to GRUB2 are irrelevant. If you have a
working legacy installation, there is absolutely no reason to change
beyond curiosity.
