I don't know Dave, I've used many installers in my time and you couldn't even think to compare this to something like Draklive. Sure I can install most releases because it wasn't that long ago that I was installing from command line and manually partitioning.

But "normal" users won't have a clue about ext3, boot loaders and the other intricacies of installing Linux. They want a hand-holding experience as a confident installer takes them through the process without anything frightening.

Trust me on this, if I don't think it's very intuitive it really isn't.
