It's much easier on beginners than the commandline;-)
In principle, nothing. However, I do recall being able to see what assorted
packages do, making some selections and then installing all those selections.
I see its greatest use being soon post-install when you're seeing what you
might have installed if you'd known more. I find choosing packages at
install-time a very time-consuming and frustrating process, I prefer to get
the known essentials installed (without lots of stuff I don't want) and get on
with using the system.
Mind you, I think too much is better than two little; if it's installed,
there's a rough chance I will find it.
With glint, there was a good chance I could find it post-install, even if it
wasn't installed. I've never managed to get gnorpm to be so helpful.
