Being from Patrick means it won't include nonsense like linking root partition commands against non-root libraries, that it will be very vanilla, and that it will simply work without fuss. He's got a rock solid reputation and gentoo never will as long as the amateurs can so easily screw it up, whether due to ego clashes or lack of QA doesn't matter.

As for Debian, I may give it another try. My last try was probably ten years ago, and was not encouraging.
