Subject: [boost] Why Boost.Build?

Hey everyone,
Is there a reason why Boost uses Boost.Jam/Boost.Build for reasons other
than tradition? Does it have advantages over other build systems, in
particular CMake (which I consider to be its main competitor)? Are
there many people/projects who use Boost.Jam/Boost.Build outside of Boost?
These questions are asked purely out of curiosity due to my ignorance of
Boost.Jam/Boost.Build, not because I have an axe to grind.
Cheers,
Greg
