I think it's getting one now. A few years back I thought scons was going
to die the same ignominious death as all previous autotools challengers;
surprisingly, this did not happen.
It's too soon to tell yet whether WAF will be seriously competitive,
but I'm rather more optimistic than I would have been in (say) 2005.
What's different today is that autotools has gotten to be a worse and
worse tarpit over time. Thus, its challengers have a better competitive
position today then they did back when they were less mature and
autotools was less encrusted.
