It's my favorite build system. A big advantage is automatic dependency tracking. It picks up unspecified inputs and automatically rebuilds anything further down the dependency tree. It also knows how to clean up files that it no longer generates since it understands you removing and adding build steps. I can do huge refactors and it cleans up files without any additional work from me. The filesystem watch automatically builds things so I never have to run it directly. I use it on my production server when deploying since it's 100% accurate at incrementally moving between different project states. There are definitely some disadvantages, you have to work around its syntax and limitations. For complicated build functions I've written the config in Lua and it works fine.
