This is the first time I've thought about Boost Build since leaving my last job about 18 months ago. The selection by a few of Boost Build for internal projects at the company was easily one of the most divisive, time consuming, and frustrating decisions I've encountered. Even after lots of wiki docs and training, no one understood that thing. Probably <10% of devs could do little more than tweak existing .jam files without all sorts of problems. And probably <1% actually liked the tool, but it got wedged into a process and stayed there.
