- You can (change how to) compile 
/tailor almost everything, yet whole OS 
doesn't feel fragmented. 
- Provided you have massive ;)
WITHOUT_* stack in make.conf
you can have pretty frugal system. 
(hal, dbus etc.)
- Native Opera support, yes it 
really mattered to me, and still
matters. Web browser is usually single most 
used application.
- Compiling base system from source 
and customising e.g. kernel is actually 
supported (not like in OpenBSD, which 
(for valid reasons!) is rather discouraged). 
- You can actually have all (ports & base) binaries 
on particular system compiled from source 
on the same machine, not only it's supported, it's
popular route. 
- Huge ports system, mostly simple & sane 
(vanilla sources, clear structure).
- Portmaster.
- Good Thinkpad support usually.
- STABLE branch, every day is release 
day ;)
