One big problem with the current installer:  The
current keyboard interaction is quite mystifying
to new users.

I taught a FreeBSD class for a while where I watched
every single person stumble just trying to figure
out how to select choices in the installer menus.

I don't think a graphical installer is necessarily
the answer to this.  Simply obeying long-established
conventions for keyboard usage (ENTER selects the
thing under the cursor, for instance, instead of
having to TAB to the "OK" button first) would go
a long ways.
