I agree, but to someone who isn't completely comfortable with the way things work in linux there are numerous ways to botch things up in the process.  I only had to try it once to get it to work, although i had a few issues here and there.  Then again I'm pretty familiar with Linux so when stuff went wrong I knew what I was looking for; a complete newb would probably give up in the face of some of the problems I had.

No doubt.  But then again, Gentoo is still working on making itself more user-friendly.  Currently, it's for more of a moderate-to-experienced Linux user.

On my personal computer... I will admit that I use WinXP... But on my servers I use Gentoo.  :)

All other flavors of Linux taste bad.

Schmung:
I keep meaning to use Linux, but everytime I loom into it afresh the same problem crops up. Linux only does a quarter of the things I use Windows for, if that. So why bother with the hassle of rebooting every half hour, it's simply not worth it. Now, windows is basically a bit crap, but untill all my games, development tools etc move over to Linux and untill it becomes less cryptic then I'm simply not going to bother. I want to use Linux, I really do, but at present it's just not an option.
