It's true, though. Proof of that is how many tools are made basically because no one wants to deal with Makefiles and autotools. I'd argue that even Docker fits this category of tools made to hide C/C++ builds away

Proof of that is how many tools are made basically because no one wants to deal with Makefiles and autotools. no one wants to deal with Makefiles and autotools because as of 2022 they don't support spaces in paths and the most used desktop OS on the planet happens to have spaces in the default path for installing software
- trinovantes 5y agoIIRC Microsoft specifically added the space in the default path so that developers know they need to handle file paths with spaces
