The interface is not that bad. There's a couple of places where the next
thing to do is not completely obvious. There are prompts, but they are
easy enough to miss. In reality, the LVM interface is no better or worse
the the fdisk interface. It's just that everyone is so used to fdisk that
they don't analyze it's oddities.

FWIW, I prefer the command line LVM to the GUI LVM. It comes up in
logical view which seems a better choice to me.

IMO, all of this is stupid anyhow and exists only because the first DOS
used drive letters rather than a sensible directory hierarchy like that
used by other OS's of that time period.
