I see the partitioning interface still hasn't improved in f20. You still simply must go on faith that you might be allowed to make the changes you want sometime after you press a button labeled "Done".
I've been installing several different distros in virtual machines recently, for an example of a near perfect interface I'd point you to opensuse (I don't really like opensuse much, but the partitioning interface is close to flawless).
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.
Sounds close to what I have enjoyed on Centos. As I allocate the disk, I have this nice graphic that shows me the progress. Even shows the allocations inside of an LVM. Or at least the last time I did a Centos install.
