I usually use gedit and open up the file to edit the settings. Either 
that or browse in the console, highlight the file, then press F4 to 
edit, then F2 to save the file with mc. I like the GUI way to change the 
timeout and default boot loader. I also don't care much for vi and the 
insert comands or :wq. Using minux a long time ago was about my last 
time using these very powerful but awkward programs.

I guess it matters to whether you like to use an electric screwdriver 
over a manual screwdriver, in comparison.

The wonders of may alternatives to getting the same results.
