hm the 9fans link is dead, and neither 9fans[0] nor google[1] has the entire thread archived anyway, the main complaints: - difficult to use by the user: --parameters - difficult to use by the developper: m4, inconsistency, strange errors.. - huge, complex, slow, ugly.. - undebuggable huge generated files - badly maintained, hacked together (see history[2]) - depends on perl and obscure gnu m4 features [0] http://9fans.net/archive/2003/11 [1] http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=configure+misery+9fans [2] http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/History.html
