It works just fine. :) Later versions have the ability to use portage
configuration files directly, but that makes you lose some advantages,
like per-repository masking or unmasking of packages. I use a small
script to keep portage and paludis config files in sync, so I can use
whichever I want. 

The thing I like about it most is how it keeps overlays separate, so
they don't override eclasses globally, or that you can even specify
'underlays' that are only used if neither the official portage nor any
other overlays carry a specific package. 

And the recent addition of the option '--continue-on-failure' won me
over all over again. :)
