No, I don't agree. That would be Slackware. I guess you never used that one before... It doesn't even do dependency management.

Portage/emerge is very much automated and once you set it up it runs updates with just a confirmation, unless you feel the need to tweak something.

Slackware has no package manager or installer. It's just an extra step removed.

I didn't say Gentoo has no package manager (it does; and it's great!)
