I'd have to disagree about it being for advanced users
only.

I switched to gentoo because I wasn't thrilled with
the other package management systems. I liked apt ok,
but I still kind of felt swamped by having to use
dpkg, apt-get, apt-search, dselect, etc. Now if I want
something I can "emerge -s <foo>" and if I find it
"emerge <foo>"...it's that easy. Other than that it's
pretty much the same :).
