Sure it not perfect - very handy when starting new projects - easy to generate project files for Idea, Eclipse etc. I used ant in the past, maybe it is more flexible, but also requires more work to set up initial build file. I find Maven just easier to use. What I liked the most is consistency across project files, project structure.
