The problem with gentoo and pretty much every other Linux distro is the
package manager. People need/want to install software, rather than
-zomg-optimize it. I used to work in an environment where Gentoo was
praised, myself being a Gentoo user at the time. Now I realize how much time
I've spent learning how to use a particular package manager, rather than
Linux itself. IMHO it's all about the package managers, the simpler and the
less clutter it installs, the better. What I like about gentoo is the idea
of a minimal base system and this aspect has been imported into other
distributions (see Arch's & CRUX's core repositories).
