I can't speak for the OP, but the obvious reason is that they cause vendor
lock-in. If any significant amount of your project's functionality is tied
up in .GPR files, then that functionality is not portable to another Ada
compiler. (.GPR files are not Ada!).
That said, you practically will have to use some tool to get at least some
of that functionality for every Ada system -- but clearly the less you
depend on it the easier porting will be. (Complex project structures in
Janus/Ada aren't portable anywhere else, either.)
Randy.
