I completely disagree. More custom, more flexibility, in a GUI installer, is a trap. It directly leads to unnecessary design work, coding work, maintenance work, and bugs.
I can remember when custom partitioning let you do whatever you wanted, even if it was wrong. That's probably not a Good Thing for the average user, but it would be nice if there were an Expert Mode that turned off the sanity checks but made you confirm that you knew what you were doing and accepted the risk that you might create a layout that can't work. (Making sure that if you have a /boot it's big enough and that you haven't specified separate partitions for directories that have to be on the root partition would be the only exceptions.) That way, those of us with decades of experience and highly unusual requirements can do what we need without forcing the average user to work things out without a safety net.
