there is another reason not to use paludis: |

|
| 8 |
you can't go back. |

At least not easily. |

With pkgcore you can switch between pkgcore and portage 'on the fly'. emerge |
| 13 |
app a, pmerge app b, emerge app c. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The config files are not touched. |

Paludis on the other hand can only described with 'vendor lock in' |
| 18 |
and 'gratuitous incompatibilty'. And don't forget that it is slow. |
| 19 |

That it also requires a shitload of dependencies and installs more crap than |
| 21 |
portage and pkgcore combined doesn't make it better. |

At a last point: don't forget WHO is behind paludis - some of the most abusive |
| 24 |
persons gentoo has ever seen. The same people responsible for most problems. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Abusive, agressive, searching for stuff that is not covered by rules, behave |
| 27 |
like a rabid ape until everything is covered by rules, suffocating gentoo and |
| 28 |
then turn into rule nazis and game the system. Yes, this people are behind |
| 29 |
paludis - and 'exherbo'. |
