There are a lot of things I like about it, and I like how robust it is once it works. But what I don't like is probably more interesting: Getting it to work can sometimes be a pain in the rear (although I'm not sure other systems fare much better). I'm still trying to figure out some missing header file errors... some are obvious and easy to fix, but but some are confusing as heck. I also hate the fact that I have to specify header files redundantly, once in the source file and once in the build tool. Their documentation can also be painful to quickly find stuff in (e.g. try finding how to display the command line options passed to the C++ compiler); sometimes some flags are just spread out in the prose rather than in the normal table format. Their @// notation is not exactly intuitive; I'm still not sure I fully understand it. And lastly, there are lots of rough edges, e.g. there's no way to call an existing Makefile and pass it conditional compiler options, so good luck sharing your compile flags across the entire codebase in an elegant manner.
