Its unfortunate that other build systems haven't taken over. Make is terrible for incremental builds and its reliance on binaries often means issues getting it to run and being very platform dependent. It is better than using a bat or shell file for the same purpose but its a long way behind many of the other language specific tools. I am surprised something better hasn't become popular, Make is the CVS of the build tools.
