This paper suggests considering Kickstart Configurator (KC).
This was one of the first tools I tried. I found it unsatisfactory.
It choked on reading a network configuration with a secondary dns server.
I don't like the way it writes it's kickstart files. I write my
kickstart files
with the commands in a logical order that makes more sense to me.
After I make changes using KC the order of the commands is
scrambled. And lines I have commented out because I don't want them
in the current config, but may change my mind and reinstate them
later just disappear.
Think there was one more issue but I can't remember it right now.
Anyway I decided it way more trouble that it was worth, and
stopped using it.
system-config-kickstart is quite useful for exploring choices in
kickstart options.
It is true that pykickstart can choke on loading some variations of
kickstart files, however. In which case,
it's still a nice starting point for building something from scratch,
and you can refine the results later.
Anyhow, this is more on-topic for kickstart-list :)

Kickstart Fu that would probably be of interest to most people

interested in provisioning. Cobbler has a cameo. Thanks, Chip!
