I agree that autotools is a difficult and obscure system that works by dark
magic. Unfortunately, autotools does work everywhere, not just in most
places, which is why it gets my vote.
I don't think there is currently a place where waf does not work.
Besides, autotools is the defacto build system for G* things, so i think
vala should use it.
Sorry, but that is not an argument for using or not using a build
system. You choose a build-tool to make your live easier as a
developer.
I think that one of the things that in the long run makes things easier
is consistency. That i means i like to use the same build system as Gtk
when making Gtk apps, because if there are some problems with Autotools
and Gtk, then the main Gtk project will probably solve them, so i dont
need to think about them. Or if i do, google will probaly find me a
ready solution.
At least i hope so ...
