I disagree somewhat. At the moment, Emacs tip is compiling peacefully
in the background (Debian GNU Linux user here). Compiling Emacs has
never been so easy, especially on GNU/Linux.
My strategy is this: There are some applications close to my heart
(Emacs is one :) which I do compile myself (I have a strong opinion
about things, and disagree on some choices made by the distributor).
I try to script everything (e.g. the "configuration" is a script)
and compile often. This keeps the build pipeline "warm".
That said, I agree, somewhat, too: I couldn't do that to all of my
currently installed packages (roughly 100) without going insane.
There I trust blindly my distributor, to whom I'm infinitely grateful
for this incredible job.
Cheers
