Grub is alive - it is used for Hurd, and IIRC one of the Hurd
maintainers took it over due to a stall in upstream development. It
provides nice simple menus and a CLI.

Description: GRand Unified Bootloader
GRUB is a GPLed bootloader intended to unify bootloading across x86
operating systems. In addition to loading Linux and FreeBSD, it
implements the Multiboot standard, which allows for flexible loading
of multiple boot images (needed for modular kernels such as the GNU
Hurd).
