yeah, makes you wonder what kind of bubbles some of these developers are living in if they see Make as some magical relic from the past.

  where do you get "some magical relic from the past" from? Not knowing about something != thinking it is useless. The "bubble" is "most people that never used C/C++" (because outside of there, make is pretty rare despite its usefulness), and even if you've used C/C++ you are not necessarily familiar enough with it to know how to properly use it or to realize you can use it as a general tool. Why would you expect people to magically know about (and prefer to others) a tool that's almost never used in the ecosystems they touch, or only behind the scenes?
