I guess It worked for you well, that's nice, I just want to add you shouldn't have taken Kanek's description as a full recipe, he didn't wrote it but, doing the systemd, and stardard install configuration before emerging gnome, is importat for many users, especially if en_US is not your native language[1], and you want to reduce the amount of to compile/install packages by settings like VIDEO_CARDS, INPUT_DEVICES, etc .
Again nice you had the default configuration match want you wanted. [1] http://www.quickmeme.com/img/94/942b064a249d63afe19d3165a088d58ae1c9c5179d98b1fb9072db3dcf5115ed.jpg ( a fun meme of what I'm talking about)
