On the Boost.Build list we were just discussing the fact that some people otherwise inclined towards Boost have chosen Scons over Boost.Build. It would be useful for us to understand some of the reasons why, if some of you wouldn't mind letting us know. No flames, please!
Well, SCons supports distributed building and binary repositories - that's a MAJOR selling point. And Python is much nicer than jamfiles. PS: there's also mxx_ru (http://eao197.narod.ru/mxx_ru/) it's a build system based on Ruby - it has some interesting features worth attention. Unfortunately, its documentation is only in Russian, but this should not be a problem for Vladimir Prus :) -- With respect, Alex Besogonov(cyberax@elewise.com)
