It's too user-friendly. I want to compile something by myself. Have some controll about my packages, but it's handy to compile great sources. Like Gnome or KDE.

It was fun, but after a while (about 2 years) it got a bit irritating. I decided to go for pre-compiled packages instead, saves so much waiting, don't think I'll ever go back to compile-it-yourself. Especially if you like to be on the bleeding edge, it's a lot of time... I used to use the FreeBSD port collection and compile my whole system from scratch as well.
