Instead of relying on faith, it shows you exactly what it would do in a summary at the top of the screen and has checkboxes for the most common things you'd want to change (separate /home or not, etc). As you click the checkboxes, you see exactly what the partitioning will look like in the summary at the top. No faith required.

I hear you, and I agree. Yet I don't know if things will get rational anytime soon. I still remember your rant one year ago, and agree with it wholeheartedly...

I agree with the sentiments, and I think that the developers can not see the issues here from an ordinary users perspective, so familiar they are with what to do with regard to partitioning. At the same time, I feel that developers -- and especially in the OSS world -- want their product to be used with ease with more people (that is after all one of their major rewards) so they would likely be open to changes.
Perhaps, the original poster can consider requesting an enhancement (RFE) on BZ explaining his views cogently (as he has done here) or on the devel mailing list (ML) because we are also very often told here that developers do not hang out much on this ML.
