A former college introduced me to make as alternative for custom build scripting (bash) I wrote for some Python projects. I always assumed it could only be used for C style projects where you had compile steps and such, but it's so much more and I haven't looked back since. Make is almost as ubiquitous as shell script on any working environment and the mix of its own declarative syntax and 'regular' imperative script allows almost any task to be modelled.
