& those were commercial products; so you could see why it would be in someone's very concrete and obvious commercial interests as to why they'd promote that version against any other.
With distro wars, text editor wars, programming language wars etc., there's no such readily discernible rationale. It's an ill-informed BS shouting contest and nothing more.
... and it gets really silly when supposedly well-informed people *rationalize* their gut feelings into supposedly knock-out explanations as to why the other side is stupid, confused, ignorant, etc. The way the 'other side' is depicted in such rationalizations always reminds me of those comically clumsy black-white 'before' segments in 'infomercials'.

Portage is clearly the winner in package managers. You can choose to either install from a binary, or compile yourself, it has possibly one of the best dependency resolvers, allows you to add your own patches to programs, allows you to install multiple versions of the same application in different slots, etc etc. It's possibly one of the best package managers I've ever used. I fell in love with it immediately.
There is no better choice.
