The main point is default setting, that allow do not spent time for
configuration. I make partitioning scheme with logical volumes by
default that is suitable in most cases for the first time, and then on
run time it allow to resize volumes and filesystems, so to allocate disk
space in most efficient way. And remember - all of this You've get in
non-interactive way by running script without parameters.

Again, instead preseed, You can simply put Your target configuration
file for any package into include directory and use meaningful shell
variable assignments. It is very simple and clean.

I agree, d-i is more universal, because it is too big. But
debian-installer is more convenient and efficient in most (typical)
cases. As for raid, d-i can't do, what install-debian can (see above).
It create mirror, raid5 and raid10 by default. In two last cases there
will be separate mirror for /boot directory.
