I am glad, that make exists. Guess what would happen, if every open source tool would use its own build environment. Open Source Software would be much more difficult to build from sources (sometimes, I can't do without). So it is rather straight forward. Type make, sometimes autoconf and most of the time you are done. Also in my own projects I prefer make to many other build tools. In software development, command line still rules (if you want to be really productive)!
