That's not a good comparison - Gentoo users (like myself) are pretty damn used 
to
manipulating USE flags. If something doesn't work, it's most probably just a 
missing flag.
Chek, rebuild, go on with your life. This is simply how the distro works.

And for sure I don't expect having to overwrite one package with another
to get things to work.
