Is there any build system that doesn't have it's problems?

edit: The discussion on Reddit points out many details about Maven that the author has gotten wrong: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/dmu26/java_buil...

Exactly. I'm mostly a C++ programmer and I have yet to find a build system that I'd like enough to actually use even in my small hobby projects.

If I might make a (self promoting) suggestion, I wrote one specifically for small C/C++/ObjC projects. You can find the most recent release here[1]. Only a few people have used it, but so far the response has been positive.
