"Ports" distros are actually a throwback to many UNIX concepts.
Gentoo's Emerge is nothing new, and FreeBSD's ports work similar.
I think "ports" distros have much to offer for many things.
And Emerge _is_ scripts.
The problem is that people "oversell" what "ports" based distros do.
"Packages" distros are very capable in many areas.
Again, I break them down in my blog.
