In the JS community there are overkills à gogo, a cacophony of many build tools, package managers, various --pilers, minifiers, maxifiers etc. The cadence of reinvention is unfathomably fast, I don't understand how one keeps up, but I guess most of the non-problems these quasi-tools solve would easily be solved with make and some vendoring, though that is already invented and time-tested ergo bad and boring...
