Not to put you down, but gentoo isn't aimed at non-technical users 
afaik. Why does every distro want to appeal to as much people as 
possible ? There's so much about gentoo which could use help in 
developing, an a fancy installer imo really isn't one of them (i don't 
see what it adds except in a lot more newbie traffic). Let people just 
start out with RH/Mandrake, move on to debian or similar and finally 
make their way to gentoo. By then they have the knowledge to use it and 
appreciate what it can and does.

Just my 2 cents (i speak for myself here).
