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.
