"Sexy" is in the eye of the beholder...
Look at Partition Magic. Lots of eye candy there. And it sells, for sure partly because of that. Sure, they don't deal with multiple dimensions like LVM, EVMS or RAID.
But maybe we could make partitioning less scary for the average user, at least for common cases.
I would not flatly exclude storage from the list of tasks that could use more eye candy.
Of course, you're right. As I've already written an year ago, Partition Magic is a powerful and understandable tool for storage and I found that Ubuntu partitioner (from Ubuntu 6.06 which I was testing) took a lot 'inspiration' from it. Usability team had been focusing on YaST storage storage but I haven't seen any useful output so far. It's not a trivial task :-/ Lukas
