That's Fedora 17 and older. And the interface was unreliable. You'd

users to be involved in anyway. Dealing with them as metapackages, as
an "application" or suite, is a lot more intuitive and efficient both
at the front and back end of things.

And that shows you how long it's been since I needed to do a fresh install. I have no problem with getting extra things installed for dependency, but I would have a problem with being forced to have every text editor Fedora offers installed instead of letting me decide which ones I want on my computer. Linux is supposed to be about choice, but from what I've been reading, whoever is maintaining Anaconda seems to be doing their best to give users as little choice as possible.
