I wanted to give the Python target better support for characters outside the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane. I.e., I was smoking crack. "I think it shines when you are working in an environment with many projects with inter-dependencies between them" I haven't seriously used Maven, obviously, but its basic design violates the separation of concerns principle. A combination of projects is simply a higher-level project, whose targets can perfectly well be created by a Makefile that downloads them. Maven is a shining example of what happens to people who don't understand recursion.
