I read Please website (main page, "Getting Started" and FAQ), and still ain't sure about the benefits.

To the maintainers of Please: please make cases and user stories, also comparisons with other build tools.

Many visitors will jump on each "comparison with tool X" where X=each of the current tools I'm familiar with. Only "Bazel, Buck or Pants" are mentioned. Okay no JVM, looks like Please is a better thought out Blaze/Buck.

Please mention CMake and others, like the C/C++-oriented http://floooh.github.io/fips/ (a high-level build system "similar to Rust’s Cargo or Javascript’s NPM, but for C/C++ projects.").
