This isn't meant to replace the current text-based interface, but it will be there as an alternative.
The main advantage that the graphical interface has is the improved ability to show various non-latin scripts. Other than that, it isn't much different. E.g. the partitioning could use some improvements: http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=486&slide=1...
Anyway, this is a WIP and has made huge improvements recently: https://debian.polito.it/downloads/d-i_gtk_snapshots/
