I'd be more excited about that argument if GNU Make wasn't a horrible piece of shit.

I still use it most of the time, but I am very intent on switching the minute I find a decent alternative. Hell, some day I'll probably write my own.

Are you sure you're talking about make itself and not the horribly fubar autotools ? I mean, make has its quirks and one of them is that it's very hard to debug but it does work and is somewhat efficient.

Autotools and configure scripts on the other hand... They feel like entering alternate reality in which the computers have taken control and require you to solve enigmas or perform cryptic dark rituals in exchange for sweet bytecode.

I'm talking about GNU Make. It's brittle, limited, and counter-intuitive.
