1) hardware detection

Please list a single GNU/Linux distribution that detects every single piece of hardware. Good luck it does not exist. Microsoft's product doesn't even accomplish this.

2) GUI installer

Why do you have to be able to mouse through a menu during an installation? Is there something wrong with your keyboard? Or are you looking for that small bit of eyecandy that you should only see once?

3) package choice during install

This is available in the Debian Installer, had you used it at least once and not merely reacted with your preconceived notion that your distribution is in some way better than another, you would know this.

It sounds to me like you want your PC or workstation to be configured automatically with little to no input from the end user, if this is really what you want, then maybe you are better off going with a proprietary OS like Microsoft's and not a free OS that gives choice to the end user.
