We're talking chalk and cheese here ! Installing codecs is very much
handled by package management and gui based at that ! Few users would
have reason or need to use command line tools nowadays.
Qparted is primarily a command line tool that an experienced user would
need/use to do serious maintenance, even so it does have a pretty
face ! I would guess that a newcomer probably wouldn't know such a
tool even existed ! Let alone what it would be used for !
