What are the advantages of this over something like the GNU Autotools? In particular over Automake which seems to handle a lot of what this does?

Don't mean to criticize, just curious. :)

The main advantage here is that it should be easier to learn and use. The disadvantage is that the simplicity comes with a price -- it isn't as customizable as the automake. But the intention isn't to replace a system like that, just make it easier for projects to get up and running quickly.

Do you use automake for all of your projects or just the larger scale ones?
