Pros
Pro Highly-Customizable Kernel CONFIGs
Portage is Probably the only package management that will let you highly customize the kernel CONFIG and remember it for the next kernel update.
Not seeing very many other distro that can let you build a kernel with custom CONFIG and still reuse that CONFIG setting for your next kernel upgrade.
Pro Great for anyone who is serious about learning the intricacies of Linux
It's useful for both beginners and professionals. For the installation, Gentoo offers various types, which are referred to as stages. Basically meaning how in depth you would want to go into the process of installation. For beginners it's useful to choose for a starting distro due to its various stages that can be very time consuming but beneficial as you learn the composition in general of Linux.
