Yes maybe, probably coming from MDK, RH or Suse, those are usually
pretty fresh linux users. What i really meant to say was that the people
wanting a GUI installer are the same ones that have little actual linux
knowledge (the 'i want it to be simple and just work' people) and not
the more geekish crowd that Gentoo on the other side attracts. Those
like their installs as it is, with the full power that comes with it.
They don't want spiffy UI tools that only hide whats really going on. So
you only have to target the first group.
