Not all distributions do. I have been running GPT for quite some time,
while I only switched to Gentoo (relatively) recently.
That said, I also stopped using GRUB 0.9x when GRUB 1.9x became stable
enough to deploy widely, since I was quite tired of fixing broken GRUB
setups (almost never my own, mind).
Since the so-called "mainstream" distributions switched to GRUB 2, I
take a lot less calls for "my system stopped booting". Now most of
those are Windows breakages. :-)
