No, but it is the most commonly used by big generalist desktop distributions,
by far.

Lilo and the like are a tiny minority in comparison. THe only place in the
desktop Linux world in which Grub does not seem to be crushing is Live DVDs and
USBs since they seem to prefer syslinux and the like. ANd even those are
starting to use Grub in some cases I think.

Full disclosure, I don't like Grub myself.
