Which ones? Maybe your biased view is related to mingw?

Out of my head:
. It automatically generates all the necessary targets in the
Makefile.
. It ensures correct dependency handling.
. Integration of gnulib is very, very simple with automake.
. It ensures that only the documented files become part of the
tarball.
. In `gnits' mode, it takes care of a lot of distribution stuff that
is very is easy to forget.
