I like it. Previously, I had to wait for the completed counter to
increment before knowing that installation of a package was complete.
It's handy if you need to interrupt an emerge session and don't want to
do it just before Chromium has finished installing :-O
Perhaps I'm just being a Grumpy Old Man (tm).
See above, some Grumpy Old Men like it ;-)
I've just configured konsole to display the current command in the sense
of it displays "emerging x of y package-name" or similar. So that
provides me a nice progress counter, and I only look at the contents of
the console if that's not enough.
