+1 from me too, and your first draft is a good step forward.

Maybe this topic should go on its own separate page ?

I also don't think we should not delve too much into explaining the
other tools' differing philosophies. Adding a note that there exist
many alternative tools that reuse the tasks/types, Ant's primary asset
indeed, and mentioning those explicitly with hyper-linked names is
fine and useful, but lets stay out of controversial debate about those
tools vs Ant. --DD
