Not sure why a makefile is so bad.. it’s just a file generation tool which can check out-of-date files and specify dependencies by pointing out which input files are needed for an output.
It should be read as: “Make file”

Makefiles don't work for extremely large and complex applications. That's the whole reason we have junk like CMake and Gradle.
