We converted our build system at work from autotools to MakeKit. My desktop builds are now five times faster and our official builds on old Unix machines are also much faster.
The nice thing about MakeKit is that you can recursively describe your project, but it builds a non-recursive Makefile. Because it's so good at figuring out dependencies, we can take full advantage of make's parallelization and multiprocessor systems.
I hope many other projects convert to MakeKit because its a lot easier to deal with than autoconf and a lot faster.
