As far as I know, the comunity is big and helpfull(at least they always 
were for me), and the distribution is actually really good.
I've switched from Slackware to FreeBSD and from FreeBSD to Gentoo, 
having tryed a lot of Debian, Red Hat, and a bunch that I can't even 
remember the name now.
So I think that there are a lot of people who sees Gentoo as a long term 
viable.
