Scons is almost 20 years old at this point. There are projects like waf that tried to fix it but ended up incompatible (and faster and more usable).

Scons has great ideas, but something either about the implementation or about reality fails to deliver.

As is cmake. Make is about to hit a mid life crisis, other projects like Ninja are faster and more lightweight, projects like WAF/Premake use a scripting language instead of a DSL, others liek FASTbuild claim to support distrobuted builds. At a certain point, sofradre has to be accepted for what it is, not what it claims to be.
