OE vs Ubuntu ARM

As I spend more time looking into Ubuntu, I can't but help see the huge differences in philosophy. OE still seems very amateurish, very hobby oriented, while Ubuntu reminds me of IBM and processes. To contribute to OE, one sends a patch. To contribute to Ubuntu one needs to first read through their wiki and understand all the Business Process Jargon.

Rootstock makes it easy

Tried out rootstock yesterday. It really rocks. I have been using Openembedded at work for over a year now, but rootstock is quite different. OE follows the Gentoo philosophy where you start from scratch and build everything. Rootstock on the other hand just puts together a filesystem by downloading pre-built .debs from ubuntu.

On the whole, OE allows for more fine-grained control but for Rootstock seems to be much easier to use.
