I don't think I've ever used the graphical installer myself; mostly it looks like it's just a prettier version of exactly the same thing, and I'm not too worried about prettiness :-) Plus it means that a whole bunch of extra hardware (video card and mouse, anyway) have to be behaving at install time.
