The SCons input language is too "free-form" to be easily shoehorned into things like Xcode and Visual Studio projects. SCons is flexible enough that mapping its input language, and all of the logic that its input might contain, to just about anything else would have been an incredibly difficult task. For anything more involved than "compile these files and produce a library or executable," with SCons, we would have needed to produce project files that weren't strictly native. The project files would have had to have contained instructions to call SCons to perform the actual build. We sought a greater level of native tool integration.
