Last time I used libreoffice-bin and firefox-bin, first was really hard
to satisfy dependencies (I was needed some packages to downgrade to old
versions incompatible to other packages in my system). But with
firefox-bin a had no such problem.
But it was "last time".

The reason is in that fact, that many of it's components are in rust.
And since it was possible to dodge it until now, maintainers considered it is
not a way since now.
And, by the way, it is not that many time to build rust, as you think:
Thu Jun 22 12:34:00 2017 >>> dev-lang/rust-1.16.0
merge time: 1 hour, 48 minutes.
Than was on 1.9GHz with hardly limited portage (MAKEOPTS="-j5 -l2",
NICENESS=18, ionice -c3, and cgroupped on cpu shares and ram).
So, ~20 mins would be enough on non-limited portage and full power of that i7.
Thank you all for replying.
So it can be around 30~40 minutes or so on my i5 machine.
Just it feels strange to install something large that I would probably
never use myself.
I am considering using binary package instead of compiling it myself.
But I am afraid that using firefox-bin package would cause some
dependency problem. I once tried libreoffice-bin, but found it really
painful to resolve dependency issues during system upgrading.
Anyone tried firefox-bin smoothly?
