"Last week, the Gentoo project entered the lowest point of its 7-year old existence. The single most telling statement attesting to this fact is this brief excerpt from the current issue of Gentoo Weekly News. 'The following developers recently joined the Gentoo project: Daniel Robbins; the following developers recently left the Gentoo project: Daniel Robbins' Yes, this is the same Daniel Robbins who founded Gentoo Linux back in the year 2000 and who left the project in 2004 for personal reasons. He officially re-joined the Gentoo development team two weeks ago - only to resign a few days later. The reason? Strong personal attacks by some of the current developers of the project."

Perhaps that was the reason for many, but mine was purely technical. In Arch Linux, I found something superior, so that's where I moved.
When something superior to Arch comes along, I'll switch just as easily. This, I think, is one of the greatest benefits of using free software. Or 'lax software'. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/lax
Yeah, I think I'll start using that term. Nothing that can refer to loose bowels can be all bad.
