Those are good resources, but they are not official. breakmygentoo is a big no-no if you want any support from official Gentoo ressources since it can break your system in very subtle ways ...
The wikis are nice, but the quality of the content varies a lot. The official Gentoo documentation has on average a higher quality, but the wikis are often up-to-date on "bleeding edge" problems.
And for the easy part: I go crazy when one of those "easy-to-use" distros won't let me do things because the developers never thought of them :-)
So from my point of view Gentoo is much easier since I have full control, but I agree that beginners will not see it like that.
