I think you missed the point. Churn is a real problem. Even if the tools are improving, it does need to be balanced against stability. They admited autotools was insane. but it was a consistent well know insanity.

Things are getting better. but js has definitely had more churn, and reinvented more wheels than anything else i know of.

I think you missed my point. Churn is obviously less desirable in the abstract, but the state of C++ build tools in particular is deplorable and the lack of churn doesn't come close to compensating for how terrible it is.
