When I'm asked, I say that gentoo is extremely flexible and can be
tailored in almost infinite ways depending on its application.
It's why I'm still using it on the desktop, maintenance time be damned.
I've tried other distros and always come back to gentoo. The lack of
flexibility with other package managers (or lack of being able to
replace the default package manager) on other distros is very
disappointing. Guess I've been spoiled too much...
