"The fantastic portage system and dependency management would also work just fine with a binary distribution."

That's why I use Debian. I don't care about 'uber-optimisation' besides if you only use it on a powerful machine then you negate the benefit of this optimisation as well.

In short I find Gentoo great for the reason that it keeps a certain sector of the community happy...leaving me to run Debian stable...it just works (TM).
