Gentoo is not for newbies, nor for people who want to hide everything, that is why I send asking newbies to SuSE (which is IMHO a nice base to start from), or people, who just want something lean to slackware, and 'please don't bother me with technicallities like - where the shutdown button is'-people back to windows ...
more blame the user. Building a system with a good configuration utility and supporting manual modification of said configuration files is not impossible. It just takes good design and the ability take feedback on what users do rather than giving the grief to others at having to change.
the only reason gentoo is not for newbies is ego and hubris.
