Back when I was doing network engineering I used make to localize configs from boilerplate code templates. Not a common use for it or maybe even the best tool for the job but because I already knew Makefiles it was an easy solution for me to implement. Saved me endless hours of tedious error prone text editing. Just an example of why it's worthwhile to learn how to use these fundamental tools that have survived the test of time. Even if you don't have a specific use for it today it's a very useful tool to have in your toolbox.
