systems, they write build files.

That is an important distinction for me, too. It makes me realize
that some of my complaints may stem from the fact that I'm using
ANT to do all kinds of auxiliary things after building the basic code.
For example, I'm using ANT to build remote databases,
fill them with data, create deployable packages of
code, customize those for a specific customer site,
and install the customized code as a webapp in Tomcat.
What a great tool, eh?
