True. We're not targeting the user-friendly crowd for the foreseeable future.

Compiling from source does not provide all of the benefits that Bedrock Linux can provide. For example, Bedrock Linux lets you do things like use Gentoo for the vast majority of your system but, if you want a package now and don't want to wait for it to compile, you can just grab it pre-compiled from another distro. Then later compile it if you want and remove the pre-compiled version.

There are people out there who like the flexibility that Bedrock Linux provides, but Bedrock Linux isn't for everyone. If you're 100% satisfied with whatever software stack you're using, I certainly encourage you to stick with it.
