People who defend make (or its evil companion autotools) are suffering from the Blub Paradox. http://wiki.c2.com/?BlubParadox http://wiki.c2.com/?BlubParadox They likely have never used any better build/configuration system so they think make is the best there is. Discussing build systems is like discussing programming languages. If one party has only ever used Java, then they will never get it.
Personally, I switched to WAF a loong while ago and have never looked back. Perhaps it is not the best build system there is, but it is leagues ahead of autotools/make.
