I can't take anymore comments like "Debian/Gentoo/OpenBSD/etc. are not good/user-friendly because they lack a graphical installer." Searching the web, I couldn't find a comprehensive site describing the good and the bad about graphical installers for various OSes throughout the years, so in this article I hope to debunk a few of the myths on the basis of my own personal and professional experience.

Home brewed beer is often much better than the watered down american swill that I see available in Tops or Wegmans...
Pay attention to what you've said - "is often much better". To continue you, "and sometimes equal, and sometimes much worse" :-) It all depends on whoever brews it. The same with Open Source software - some program may be completely Open Source and utterly and extremely inconvenient, up to the extreme that it makes you think that the developer doesn't understand how to make UIs - neither CLI nor GUI.
Plus I can tweak it the way I want
Wasting a lot of time and ending with some completely undrinkable liquid :-). And then you go to the supermarket and purchase a bottle of beer ;-)
