I agree. I have used GParted on most occasions.

I had computer-trouble (non-working system) when I installed
(previously, first time 12.04LTS).
At that time I took the 'automatic' short-cut. (and use spare HD-space
for all data under my/manual control).

Second reason: I have better support from 're-install' (install the
same version again, same automatic way).

It proved a good choice: (this re-install, on a 'new' computer, HD
drives moved over). It got me out of trouble in less than 2 hours
(maybe much less, I was doing something else). I only had to set the
time and date.

It also saved time for restoring. I have all essentials backed-up, just
insurance. Avoiding restore saves considerable time.
