I'm curious to see how the new installer feels and whether it's really better than the old one.

It feels pretty good, as well as looks pretty good. YaST and the YaST installer have been basically in maintenance mode for a long time, without any active development for a number of years now, and it's certainly time to move on.
The installer looks very modern indeed. But as I said, I hope that it will ultimately offer the same configuration options as Yast. But you're right, it's definitely time for something new that is actively developed and proper maintained.
