Why not?  I find it quite convenient to use for my own project

If it works for you, great. My experience has been that it creates more problems than it solves; indeed, I have a hard time understanding what problem it actually does solve.

groff already has a comprehensive Makefile system, which does not depend on automake; why jeopardise it to migrate to something with nothing better to offer?
