Not sarcastic, but some hyperbole.
I use gentoo. Have for about 6 years (I'm guessing. It's been a long
time and I forgot exactly when I started.)
I used to know a lot of gentoo folks, several of them hardcore linux
geeks. But almost all of them left for other distros because it's not an
easy distro to maintain.

I don't remember the last time I met someone who actually uses gentoo.
It was really cool when it came out and the idea of portage is really
interesting. I like portage/ebuild/emerge, but maintaining a gentoo
system is a lot of work. More work than any other distro I have used,
except LFS (and maybe slackware) and when it breaks. ugh... I left a
gentoo box alone for 2 years and then tried to update it. haha, that
was pain. I'm talking root canal through the bum kinda pain. While a
gentoo box can be stable, no matter how hard I tweak the make.conf, or
preloading, i've never noticed any speed improvement from compiling my
own packages, which was one of the main points behind gentoo. It's a
fun distro to play around on.
