As Daniel Robbins responded in a recent interview. 

Gentoo is for seasoned power users who wants to tweak 
their systems and for newbies who wants to learn the workings of linux.

It may be convoluted to some and it remain the same unless the same users
who complained explain why it is so.

Anyway, gentoo in its current form is way easier than the first alpha when
portage was using perl
