If you want simple installation why don't you stick to windows?

This question is a faq, improving the installer is low priority. The 
fact is that most FreeBSD users don't really care:

It works, it installs, and once you've got your system installed you'll 
never use it again. There is no need for an annual reinstallation as 
some other OS'es tend to require. So your initial effort to get started 
pays off, I think.

Cheers, Erik
