What's so good about oats?

I notice oats being mentioned a lot here. What's so special about them?

I meant don't get me wrong, I like to sow my oats now and again...

What about grits? I saw a video of Coleman downing what looked like a half gallon of that shit in a bowl with fat free cheese, and egg whites. I'm assuming they have a higher GI as it comes from corn. After seeing that video I started eating grits and preparing them the same way as Coleman -pretty damn tasty I might add. I'm getting a little sick of the oats myself..
