FWIW, the tweaking/overclocking community favours UEFI a lot. Something about greater flexibility, more information, and faster POST speed (because of the modular design). They gave Gigabyte much grief for sticking with Award's legacy BIOS when the competition (ASUS, ASRock, MSI) had already moved on.
Enthusiasts make up a tiny segment of the market though, so most users probably don't see much benefit.

Yes, Gigabyte previously offered a custom bootloader as a stopgap.
