I don't see how clicking a box makes installation harder - accepting the disk config is a much more demanding choice for new users.
Well, I do actually remember versions where there was no preselected option (no, I'm not going through my DVD collection just to tell you the exact interval of versions). I also remember that at that time, the effort to be as neutral as possible resulted in descriptions of both Gnome and KDE choices being almost identical. The first thing that came to my mind whenever I saw that installer screen was: "I'm so lucky I'm not a newbie who hasn't seen KDE or Gnome yet. I really don't know how they are supposed to choose based on the information on this page." So I sincerely hope if the distribution gods decide to return back to the "no preselected option" mode, they at least make sure there is some distinction in the text descriptions.
