  Well, IMHO you have a good point, as a new lunar user. My own experience was 
very different. I was trying before Lunar many distros like Mandrake, Red 
Hat, Debian, Slackware, Rock Linux and finally Lunar (approaching to the bare 
simplicity of the Linux system) :). It was my choice for that as my 
experience in Linux have grown with every distro i was changed. In Lunar i 
have found heaven. Maximum flexibility, the possibility to inovate, 
experiment and test new ideas and the latest packages and the maximum 
simplicity in management and maintenance. I prefer that way most of all.

 I must say that every dev have a well configured and functional system with 
Lunar. Nobody said to them how to do it. By trial and error, searching the 
info on the Net and using the help of the Lunar team, we all succceeded to do 
that. I must also say that Lunar is very much evolved right now than it was 
two or three years ago. A lot of our experience is nailed in the Lunar 
scripts. Sofar did a marvelous job on that. 

The install system never was simpler and easier. However we are not creating a 
new Gentoo. We have a similar way, in some respects, but there are many 
better things in Lunar than in Gentoo. As i said it's only my opinion. 

We will continue go the same way, and try to make the things easier for 
newcommers. Your experience have shown to us the reached level on that, and i 
can sai that it's a good level compared to the past. We invite every one of 
the Lunar users to join the Lunar team and  help us to achieve a better Lunar 
for all.

  Thank You for your attention

  Yours,
