I started my Gentoo compile in 2008. It should be ready by next October.

Old news, gentoo has binary packages as an option

What's the point of using Gentoo if you don't compile?

You don't have to choose between binary and source, you can get some pre-compiled packages that you don't care about, but e.g. run a custom kernel at the same time.
