As this sacramental phrase repeated many times, take a look on a
common issue. For example, when You compare  two operating systems,
You can do billions statements like this, but You prefer one of them
because You understand they are totally different in approaches and
ideology.

As I wrote above, the first motivation push me to start write
install-debian few years ago, was inability to make partitionable
bootable mirror with d-i. The next was a lot of time taken for
partitioning with logical volumes. And finally, I prefer command line
interface.

As experiment, try to install Debian on the system with 6 disks with
pristine d-i without special and complex configuration. Then do the
same with install-debian. You will see the difference. The essentially
different experiment may be done with 2 disks.


Regards.
