It's a pity that rake is not included in the table at the bottom.

One huge advantage of rake is the ability to easily debug what is happening. A quick `p [filename, task]` lets you know what is happening. Even, if needed, you can quickly do

    $ irb
    >>> require 'rake'
    >>> p FileList["foo/*"]
and actually play around with the libraries. If you know anything about ruby, and especially if you are looking to build anything other than a c/c++ project, it is definitely worth looking at.
