One thing I can say in build2's defense is that it works:

works -> can be made to work. I understand the vision for b2 and have been using it with boost for more than 20 years. It's complex - arguably to complex. It's still under constant development. I only update and rebuild it occasionally. But when I do, there's almost always some sort of issue which requires going to the list or slack/boost. Eventually I get this to work and it's quite satisfactory. Basically, the development process for b2 is not resulting in a reliable product. Addressing this is a job that is difficult and underrated. I would like to see CMake efforts culminate in a result which can replace b2. But that doesn't seem to be progressing either.

what otherC++ build toolchains can you use that would allow you to build an application that depends on, say, both Boost and Qt (and all their dependencies, recursively) with a single build system reliably and uniformly across all the major platforms and compiler (including Windows)?
