Although GLR parsing was developed in the 1980s, many new language definitions and parser generators continue to be based on LL, LALR or LR parsing up to the present day.
An LL parser has to decide or guess what it is seeing much sooner, when it has only seen the leftmost input symbol of that pattern.
All conflicts that arise in applying a LALR(1) parser to an unambiguous LR(1) grammar are reduce/reduce conflicts.
And the SLR parser may do even more.
