[Beowulf] Thoughts on EasyBuild?

[Faraz Hussain]

Some folks I work with are using EasyBuild but I am not sure what to  
make of it. I am little skeptical of tools that promise one-command  
installations of complex software. On the other hand I can see its  
benefits by saving a lot of "re-inventing the wheel".

What do people think? Like everything, the answer is probably it  
depends on what you use it for? Or is it another layer of complexity  
that just makes everything more complex?
