I enjoyed your article and agree with some of your comments (such as taking a long time to set the system up etc). Yes, it is true but gentoo also provides a quicker way by using stage3.
However, I don't agreee with you on the documentation. I followed it closely with the installation and proved to be an excellent resource. Some examples such as installing CUPS proved extremely helpful to me.
Previously, I have installed other distros (RedHat, SuSe and Mandarke) but Gentoo is by far the most challenging. You learn a lot from installing Gentoo than with the above distros.
Overall, I recommend Gentoo highly. The documentation provides a good guidance to a very complex task.
