Sure, each to his own.

There are things Grub is better than LILO, and things LILO is better 
than Grub.  Given that LILO is not default choice, OP probably choosen 
it for a reason.  I usually give advice for the boot loader people ask 
(be it Grub or LILO), and suggest different one only when there's an 
advantage of using it (for example LILO handles mirrored boot partitions 
in simpler way than Grub does).  I prefer LILO, but you can find many 
posts of mine where I helped out people with Grub problems (suggesting 
LILO as alternative only where it made sense, but only suggesting, not 
as the only way to go).  My comment was more along the lines that I 
don't uderstand why people are so religious about choice of boot loader ;-)
