Actually I disagree about LVM. It comes in very handy in disk constrained situations like what you will typically find in enterprise virtual infrastructure environments. When you are regularly re-sizing virtual disks for various purposes, it's a lot faster and more convenient than non-destructive partition re-sizers. I do agree that it's pretty much non-useful in most newer desktops and laptops where the disk size is going to be basically the same for the life of the system. Too bad it isn't currently one of the high level (aka simple) options when setting up the file systems during install.
