Dear Faraz, to me, easyBuild (or spack) is not merely another build/install tool.
The know-how about building optimized scientific software that is embedded in easyconfigs and easyblocks (or spack packages), and their respective communities, is reason enough to get on board (and contribute back). The HPC world is a better place with them around, growing in scope, and attracting more people.
