Having a full fledged language for complex builds is nice, I think most familiar with complex makefiles would agree with this.
Yes, people will still need general computation in their build process from time to time whether the build tool they're using supports it or not. And if it doesn't, they'll resort to some ungodly mash such as Makefile+ shell+m4. Python has got to be a better choice than that.
