Much is made of the great new anaconda introduced in Fedora 18. But,

Obviously there was little or no testing of s-c-k or perhaps nobody
uses it and/or nobody cares.

Perhaps there needs to be a F19 Feature which either fixes it or
eliminates this package. The current situation is just plain
ridiculous.

Good! Thank you.
Here is some unsolicited suggestions.
I only became interested in kickstart when I felt that the Fedora 18
installer was not meeting my needs. This was especially true installing
(and re-installing) test configurations into virtual systems. Taking a
look at s-c-k under Fedora 17, I believe that it mostly has the right
options.
Two areas that should be expanded beyond what is available in the
anaconda gui:
1. File systems (and especially btrfs) and how things are configured.
2. Software selection ... more like what is available with yumex and the
add/remove software application.
Then again, at this point I just might stick with the old standard unix
tool for configuration files: a text editor.
