Looks way better than what default is installed on ubuntu 14.04

'Reinventing the wheel' and/or 'not invented here' syndrome?
If "layout is inspired by GParted" why they didn't simply improve GParted?

Because this is just a graphical interface over an existing library already used by the installer

So it sounds like it's not a "new tool" at all, then...

I wonder why Red Hat keeps insisting with GTK..

if you read the first paragraph in linked mail, you'd see that they would actually need to 'reinvent the wheel' if they did what you ask. and whole thing wouldn't stop there since they would need to 'reinvent the wheel' again for anaconda if they wanted to end up with one single disk management to keep things consistent.

They are stupid or what?? There is hardcoded install path in launch script blivet-gui (/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivetgui/main.py). This is some new restriction from Lennart or what?

Agree, Qt is far ahead of GTK in many ways. That's one thing Canonical is doing right, they're slowly switching out everything GTK for Qt.

Another tool which does not support UDF FS?
