There are scenarios where manually managing Grub is desirable, but it's not my preferred choice, especially considering how easily an inexperienced user can render their computer unbootable with a mis-click or a mis-configuration.
FWIW, my experience is the reverse. It's very easy to screw up the booting arrangements on a system if you let distros do their default or even click on their install options. I usually find it easier to use grub itself. But that's JMHO :) As a point of experience, I've found that Ubuntu karmic is able to correctly detect and incorporate opensuse 11.2 stanzas in its grub.cfg There is one thing to remember with such a configuration. Whenever there's an opensuse kernel update, it's necessary to boot ubuntu and run update-grub. It's a bit like being back in lilo days. So perhaps it's better to use chainloading, despite the apparent clunkiness.
