A couple of thoughts:

1) There are one or more projects underway to automate the install
process.  Search the archives or in forum.  Most of us don't mind the
manual process because normally you only need to do it once, then update
forever.

2) I disagree.  I've gotten better installation support from this mail
group and from the gentoo forum users than any other distro I've worked
with, bar none.

3) You will catch more bears with honey than vinegar.
