   Some reasons are:   
      
   - most Gentoo purists (and I fairly agree) say that it's against the true   
   spirit of Gentoo, where you learn by doing things by hand (as in the   
   traditional install). Using a graphical installer would be like installing   
   redhat or (god forbid) windows.   
      
   - the project was experimental, and development seems stalled now (latest   
   news are from 5-2007).   
      
   - I seem to remember some users had troubles with it, while the manual   
   method has always worked fine.
