Could anyone speak to why you would use Autotools today in a new project rather than gyp [0] (created by the Chrome team because Autotools sucks) or waf [1]? How many people really have a requirement to support more than just Windows, OS X, and Linux? I can understand not wanting to rip out a working Autotools implementation of a legacy project, but it&#x27;s greenfield use should decline to zero.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gyp.gsrc.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gyp.gsrc.io&#x2F;</a>
