Why isn't DSSS ('s net portion) more widely used?

I have not started using DSSS for a while for the same reasons, I was 
getting along just fine with build. But it's a really nice tool. Some 
more reasons to use it:
- very easy to setup, everything is standard and transparent
- automatic dependencies: this is just awesome
- candydoc build without hassles
- simple for simple projects, but flexible if you need more
