Why has Gentoo fallen out of favor?
Mainly because Gentoo's quality has been deteriorating over the past few years.
Gentoo's portage and emerge utility rivals that of Debian's app-get.
Indeed, but unless the package tree is maintained well, it has issues. For example, it is impossible for me to do an update due to masking conflicts.
The only reason I still use Gentoo is that I am waiting until I have Utopios at a usable state to replace it on my systems.
