I am a devout anaconda bigot, and I exclusively use the Everything.iso with it.
Of course, I use it via terminal mode.
A feature I relish in anaconda, is the ability to manage disks and partitions.(using the

My system has 2 SSD and 6 disks, and with anaconda, I select all of them and then
use the mentioned disk management to build the target system along with a completed
/etc/fstab.
This is run during install and is a different usecase to initial-setup
which doesn't offer disk configuration options.
