(Not a downvoter, but) I'm just saying that as a user who doesn't know what things like ipmitool or efibootmgr are, all I know is that it was very easy to install OSes as I wanted, dual-boot, etc with BIOS and whenever I hear about UEFI it's scary/intimidating, for instance this article says:
> If you absolutely insist on having more than one OS per disk, understand everything written on this page, understand that you are making your life much more painful than it needs to be, lay in good stocks of painkillers and gin, and don’t go yelling at your OS vendor, whatever breaks.
I've dual-booted with multiple OSes per disk with BIOS several times and had no problems at all. So I can't help but get a bad impression of UEFI.

I think this article was written back when you had to setup everything UEFI manually, at least in the Linux-world. I don't think all parts still applies.
These days most of these things should be taken care of automatically for you, by the OS vendor, just like they used to in the BIOS past.
Except now you wont have to mess around with installation-order, custom bootloaders or weird grub-entries. It's all handled natively by UEFI.
