One complaint about buildbot is that if you get too creative, your buildmaster.cfg gets very hard to maintain, but if you stay very diligent, just having python (and being able to print or log whatevery is happening) makes debugging and having complex setups be very easy.

Also, if you ever need to schedule jobs/tasks (not just ci builds) across multiple machines, buildbot is great because all you need is a master, and slave python processes which just need a network connection to the master.
