for sure the installer should not be a complete configuration tool - that
would be a different beast (and it looks like pgAdmin will go there). But
server logging is *vital*, as it's the only means to tell you what went
wrong, and allows you to investigate. This will bite many new users, as
they're used look at the eventlog.
Thus my suggestion.
