I don't think there's anything visually wrong with systemd-boot, so long as
it's showing a menu like gummiboot did.
As I said earlier, I have no problems with sd-boot or the looks of it
(it
seems that is what we are discussing now). I see no real problems with
using it as default for EFI systems. That's just an opinion though. It does
what it does and shows what is needed.
Actually, it doesn't do enough to be able to actually boot Fedora systems.
Please note that full disk encryption is a supported scenario in Fedora, as is
encrypted /boot or /boot on Btrfs. systemd-boot is not capable of getting
bootloader configuration files in this case, so your system will never boot.
As for making it the default, I can't see any reason to do that. Standardizing
on the best bootloader seems like the safe bet, i.e. use GRUB2 everywhere
possible, and support boot from u-boot, zipl, petitboot, etc. where it's not
available.
