For me, Boost Build is more scalable, better designed, encouraging a saner
workflow and file organization, more ambitious, and easier to understand
than other build systems I have used.

I personally think there is much to learn from working with it.

I hope one day we can make it work a little faster and allow users to
override dependence-or-independence of specific targets on specific
features/properties.

But still, I love Boost Build.
