### What we like

Smart caching and tasks distributed across multiple build agents significantly improves build time. Only runs build tasks with changes. Remote caches can be shared. Migration functionality can keep all workspace dependencies up to date for everyone. Built-in task executors support linting, testing, dev servers, etc.

### Tradeoffs

All the examples, docs, core plugins etc, assume you’re working in the JS/TS ecosystem, but it is actually a general purpose build system.
