I doubt anyone who's after 3 years of support will be using a clicky livecd-based installer - if they want clicky, they'll move to Edgy Eft as soon as they can.
Those of us who want to make full use fo the long support cycle will be using the text installer anyway, for preseeding.

No, it's definitely buggy--to the point where I couldn't get it to do a complete install on my computer at all. Options would disappear if you went back and forward the wrong way, it'd assume incorrect choices, etc., etc.... it probably should have been held till the next release.

Another is the new graphical Python-based installer, which is part of the Ubuntu Live CD. Less featured, more clicky.
It's alarming that they actually plan to include that hive of bugs in a "super-stable" release that's meant to be supported for, what, three years?
