Yeah, I have noticed that packages have been lagging behind other distros.  
The only real problem that I've had (other then the long compile times when 
starting with a blank hard drive) has been packages that don't compile 
properly because another package wasn't updated.  Since I only upgrade every 
few months or when I want one particular package updated right then and 
there, it's not a huge issue for me.  It's something I can deal with.

Personally, I like Portage much better then any other package manager.
