Maybe for distribution people (although I haven't had that many
complaints with my hand-written Makefile.in files). But automake
causes ***huge*** amounts of pain for developers, especially when they
want to run binaries out of the build tree for debugging purposes or
for regression testing.
I hate automake almost as much as I dispise GNOME 3.
