While i agree, I’ve spent literal days fighting with node modules in recent months. Sure make isn’t perfect either but it’s a lot less, confusing? Ie json isn’t a language for humans, but often you really need to read it to correct some issue or bad merge from another contributor.

I don't use make all that often, so I find make files beyond a few lines quite a lot to get my head around, whereas I spend all day writing JavaScript so I can read/write JSON in my sleep.
