Well, it does. It gives a visual representation of how the result
will be, it translates partition codes to human readable descriptions
("ext2", "FAT32", ...), it takes some care to avoid conflicts and it
invokes the correct tools to format the newly created partitions.
On the command line, you have a lot more chances to do things wrong.
