I can answer that. Because make is more familiar to us. We have used it for years. No need to learn something new, and we can instantly get on with the job at hand, instead of reading web docs, and fighting with bitbake, etc. You see a makefile, you instantly know what to do, without having to spend 30 minutes searching wiki's. -- Lorn 'ljp' Potter Software Engineer, Systems Group, MES, Trolltech
