Rightly so.

Code talks.
Out of curiosity, are any of these shortcomings documented anywhere? I have
been using ports on my home machine for a long time and I've never
had any problems with it. I assume the issues come into play when you work
with multiple systems you are trying to keep in sync, etc.
I would be interested in reading about some of the limitations people have
run into when using ports.
Notable with the new modular Xorg is the speed of changes
(install/deinstall/clean) when there are a lot of ports installed.
Before modular xorg, 400 ports installed was a lot. 700 now is not
surprising.
Some profiling looking for areas which could benefit from speed
optimization would be useful. That may have already been done but not
publicized.
