This is not directly related to the raid levels. The "customize" option on the "Manual partitioning" window is collapsed by default. It would be nice if it was expanded by default. If you are on the manual partitioning anyway, you're probably going to be messing with the devices and file systems already. If it was expanded, it would make it easier to make changes. It would be nice to get away from the smart phone type interfaces though.
To try and head the derailment off at the pass: that's been brought up repeatedly. Mo's worry about expanding it by default is it presents too many confusing options to someone who wants to control their own mount points and sizes but doesn't understand all the details of ext4, LVM, btrfs, RAID etc - newUI custom part is meant to be a 'graduated interface' which is of some use even to people who don't know everything about partitioning. So there's a reason to keep the expander. What has changed in F19, though, is that it's now labelled more clearly - it reads "Device and filesystem options...", not "Customize..." - and its state is remembered, so if you expand it once, it'll always be expanded after that.
There is no 'smart phone type interface'. newUI design has nothing whatever to do with smart phones. You can read the entire history of its design on the wiki and on Mo's blog, there is nothing whatsoever about smartphones in there. It is designed to be a good interface for use on a computer, simple as that.
