I certainly don't think so. A lot of people *switch* to Gentoo

Portage or the tree? Portage is just a way of using the tree, and it's
not a very good one...
Both portage and the tree. I don't deny the fact that portage isn't
the best way of using the tree but it's a lot better than many of the
package managers (think other distros) out there. In fact, I've
hardly felt as if portage was "limiting" me in any way for the past 2
years or so. It just works, and that's a good thing (TM).
Alternative package managers are also good for Gentoo as a whole, but
I don't think replacing portage should be our top priority. We
officially support portage, and will do so for quite some time to come.
