Dependency hell is one of the main reasons why developers are flocking to bloated solutions such as election: a single monolithic dependency with guaranteed cross functionalist behavior.
Most build tools are stuck in the 70-80's where a single library weighing hundreds of kilobytes was a big thing. In comparison to saving a few kilobytes vs spending hours of a developers time hunting down old versions of libraries is a no-brainier. Especially when you take security into account. I've seen .Net developers just give up in frustration and download dll files from those dodgy download sites and put them into production distributions.
I personally loathe make. I've never had a good experience when using it.
