You can throw out the new /Developer directory after the app-store one-button (no choices install) and run "/Applications/Install Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Xcode and iOS SDK.mpkg" to get the normal install process. Perhaps you don't need 8GB of iOS development on your laptop, for example...
Not sure what that will do to any future upgrades rammed down from the App Store, however.
I don't mind the $5 (how many hours of productivity have been consumed by that $5, I wonder) but please just let me run the interactive install process by default. These are *developers*, after all. Hopefully they know what parts of the package they want. Just my 2c.

I think the installer may be different depending on whether you get the $4.99 Xcode 4 form the App Store or the free one from the Apple developer site. The App Store version has absolutely zero options at install time - you take the whole thing in the default location or nothing at all (which is annoying if you don't even want or need the iOS stuff, for example).
