The problem with gentoo and pretty much every other Linux distro is the package manager. People need/want to install software, rather than -zomg-optimize it. I used to work in an environment where Gentoo was praised, myself being a Gentoo user at the time. Now I realize how much time I've spent learning how to use a particular package manager, rather than Linux itself. IMHO it's all about the package managers, the simpler and the less clutter it installs, the better. What I like about gentoo is the idea of a minimal base system and this aspect has been imported into other distributions (see Arch's & CRUX's core repositories).
