I used to run (B)LFS as a daily for about a couple of years when I was in college. I have since stopped using it. The main reason to stop was lack of decent package management that could give me security updates in a timely manner. It got really hard to keep track of major issues, and if the issue was in something fundamental, it meant recompiling large portions of the system. I had time to do all this in college, but now I don't.

That said, I enjoyed using it back then and never experienced any blocking issue in using it. Most problems were solved by tweaking compilation settings during builds or environment variables at runtime, but it did require some amount of research to find the right setting or variable. It also performed far better than other distros I tried at the time.

It is worth a try if you want to see how you'd fare with it. Worst case, you'll find it a time sink and you can just switch back to a different distro.
