That's the time saving aspect

lol :)

Not "lol", it is like I told you. Binary distributions are a big, big time saver compared to a rolling update source based meta distribution like Gentoo.

Another reason why many stick with Distros like e.g. Debian, SuSE or Ubuntu is:

* you got a standardized environment/system.

That's also a very big requirement if using it in a corporate environment, if not the most important one.

I am not saying that this is not doable with Gentoo, but to achieve it with Gentoo you've got to implement quite some things. For Debian e.g. it comes free out of the box.
