Nor am I, but I rarely have reason to edit any lilo.conf - because
lilo was deprecated in yast, I have to do one or two things manually
during installation, but after that I really don't touch it.

Stefan Seyfried summed it up very well: lilo just works, period.

If you run multiple distro-releases which you boot from a master spot,
then not having the lilo map files is a big advantage.

I only run one distro - having multiple distros running in production is
just hassle.

Don't think lilo(8) reintroduction is feasible for enthusiast
community, they would probably just de-camp to a more comfy boot
loader, rather than lose the features and convenience GRUB has
provided.

Maybe openSUSE isn't targetting the enthusiast community? Well, who
knows what openSUSE is targetting these days, sigh.
