I believe anaconda is Ok, But many users complain about it, I honestly can't
understand why.
What I can undersand and even say is that anaconda needs a little "more
polished" experience.

I mean, in the "look part" Fedora needs a re-birthday, we use same graphics
combination in anaconda,
the same Gnome theme, the same themes to pick for (gtk) and mostly the same
that when Fedora started.

I believe we need to polish that look part, as far as I understand an O.S.
Needs to be newer in each
new version not only in features, but also in look. If we can give that to
users, discussions like these ones
will be present in a fewer number.
