I currently use it for java and c++ builds inside a largish tech company. Build systems are definitely not one size fits all though so I would encourage you to pick one that meets needs of your project. If you want to build for different platforms like unix, windows, iOS, android and have a big complicated build then I'd encourage you to check out bazel. If your project needs are pretty simple I'd say just start off with a simple makefile.
