Ubuntu's installer goes much faster though, if the benchmark is 'to a working gnome system', especially for those of us with slow internet connections who aren't able to download half a Gb here and there at the snap of a finger.
Maybe "user-friendliness" was the wrong thing to bring up, but for most reviews on distrowatch.com, "working ghome/kde/[your DE of choice] systems" is the benchmark. Other things, such as freshness of packages, don't matter as much, so I do believe that their reviews target a specific audience. If you're just getting started with Linux, there's a slim chance that you'll understand why systems such as Arch or Gentoo even exist from their reviews.

it's not about userfriendliness, which is a very subjective topic. it's about time duration, which is scientifically measurable.
Automated scripted installation should be faster, by definition. Is there a script / config file for AIF that will install a full system with DE, akin to Archiso-live? Denis.
