Some people on bigger projects are tired of waiting for their builds and test results, so they wrote something better and faster. => ninja

On bigger projects waiting 60min or 10min or 2min makes a difference.

kati so far converts traditional makefile recipes into ninja builds.

Not sure this is the answer (I actually doubt it), but possibly because Make works poorly, and requires painful setup on Windows?
