Well arch did have a menu system that was pretty close to next > next > next before the new pacstrap way of installing was done. You still had to do quite a bit more work than say installing ubuntu but it was quite a bit easier to get started with than it is now.

I don't really see that the current install way is any better, most users will just blindly follow the beginners guide and either give up if it doesn't work (or since it is likely to work) have a system setup with very little understanding of why they did what they did.
