We are in agreement. I perhaps did not phrase it well enough. Although make can be used to parallelize data workflows (guilty as charged), it was not particularly designed for this use. It has lots of other things baked in that specifically target building software which for the purpose of data work flows are extra cruft. Effective ? yes, quirky? yes, recommended ? perhaps not if one is not very familiar with make. Ninja is lovely its like a library of building blocks to make your own build system. BTW as long as we are trading favorites, may I suggest tup.
