mostly i use make for small tasks that will also run on other people's computers -- not worth the hassle to ask them to install a newer make just for that. even for myself, as much as possible i try to just rely on what's built-in, if reasonable. time is precious! the mac is shitty in a million ways, but it's still by far the least shitty, for me, out of the windows, linux, mac trinity. tho at this point it's been years since i've spent much time non-mac, so maybe the situation has improved -- i'll probably give it another go once asahi linux matures (or its m1 support is adopted by other distros). (also the arm mac notebook hardware is just insanely good, imo.)
