Dear Praveen,

I guess the biggest missing feature is from what little I could 
understand from Vikas and Raju when we were talking about it is that it 
doesn't have any pretty themes.

Another feature was that the user had to make lot of decisions and is 
supposed to know what s/he is doing.

I did share FAI and other ways in which Debian Live could be scripted 
but overall both Vikas and Raju like the way both Ubiquity and Calameres 
looked.

One another missing feature is there doesn't seem to be a themeing guide 
for the installer.

I did see the mailing list archives and the sense I got was that they 
don't want to jump things but are more involved in making things right, 
especially with the UEFI bits which still hurt us quite a bit.

I hope I have been able to share some of the concerns that people while 
making a decision which installer to look at.
