In my mind, shell scripts are simpler. I have no reason to need the extra complexity that make brings.
Also, I do a lot of programming on Windows, where GNU make would be another dependency to install. (Also, in my experience, make is slow on Windows, since they have to emulate fork()). I guess I could use Microsoft nmake, since I assume it's still installed along with Visual Studio, but again, batch files are simpler.
