May I ask what this new installer has to offer, compared to running a simple "composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition" ?

@Marcel Hernandez: it will also perform additional Symfony2-specific checks. See https://github.com/symfony/symfony-installer/issues/9.

Marcel, here are the main advantages of the new installer:

* It doesn't require to have Composer installed.
* It's much simpler to use: "symfony new blog/" instead of "composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-ediion blog/"
* It's orders of magnitude faster than Composer. It takes around 10 seconds to install on a typical Internet connection.
* It doesn't ask anything to the user or bothers him/her with useless information.
* After installation, it checks if your system is ready to execute Symfony applications. If not, it will show you the exact error messages.
