Java: it's truly cross-platform and the Gump PMC members all know it quite well; easy to install * cons: dunno
I've had a fetish for both complete reproducibility and for the overall build environment to be provably unable to effect the build environment.
There were a number of cases where this has come in handy - I've been able to reproduce problems outside of Gump.
The one notable exception: build.sysclasspath
I'm particularly wary of class loader tricks, particularly when interacting with things like bootclasspath and compiling against Apache's version of Xalan. When these tricks work, they are unquestionably FM(*). When these tricks fail, they are also FM.
