When I'm forced by a friend asking for a particular package yes.

This is not a case of sed being broken on BSD / OS X - on a Mac
everything works fine out of the box, and users can use standard tools,
gcc is non standard and broken, ld is non standard. vim is non standard.

And if you want to you can replace them (see the progressive profile). At your own risk of course. Personally, I run vim7 from portage. The problem is that we simply cannot guarantee that Apple will play nice with us stomping on their core system tools, therefore the default behavior cannot be to overwrite these packages.
