> Because the core proposition value of make is the dependency graph and incremental rebuild, which then trivially allows for parallelisation with -j<n>, In my personal experience 90% of Makefiles I come across not only don't take advantage of these, but actually have to actively employ workarounds to avoid these things. If you're taking advantage of the things make has to offer then by all means use make, but if all of your targets are .PHONY and you're having to turn off make features just so you can put all your bash scripts in one file then maybe just put your bash scripts in separate files.
