For the base install you pretty much have to use it, but it is a battle
unless you don't mind the way it wants to re-arrange your partition
layout. But for additional partitions, I find it much faster and easier
to type that command line than to do the dozen point/click operations
that it takes in disk druid. Plus there's the advantage that you can
specify one or more of the partitions as "missing" and sync them in later.
