One point in LILO's favor is that it's much easier to get set up than GRUB
(why on God's green earth did they have to go with that non-standard (hd#,#)
nomenclature?) and works in more circumstances.  Try getting GRUB to work
on AMD64 hardware where WinXP/2K/NT is on /dev/hda, Linux is on /dev/hdb,
and you want the NT bootloader to load the Linux bootloader.  It won't work,
no matter what I've tried.  Yes, you have to rebuild LILO after you rebuild
the kernel, but at least it works.
