Fond though I am of grub (for 'crusty sysadmin' values of fond, admittedly, but nonetheless), if it has all the features you need the nixos systemd-boot support

  Absolutely, sadly it doesn't support copying itself to two locations natively like grub, might be an easy fix but I haven't looked into it. You can't raid your boot partition so if you have 2 disks and want to be able to boot from both of them you need this operation. Maybe it could be solved with something as simple as an rsync between /boot and /boot-fallback, no clue.

    I suspect that wouldn't be tricky but I've been focusing on helping out with Hydra development recently - once I get confidence with core-fu I expect to rewrite the grub stuff to be sensible modern perl first - but I mentioned systemd-boot for people who aren't me (and apparently aren't you either ;). Definitely enjoying nixos so far though :D
