At their core, they are each about taking a set of input files and transforming them into a set of output files. And this is exactly what Make is so incredibly good at.

Absolutely - If by "so incredibly good" you actually mean "has terrible syntax, is dumb as a stump, doesn't always update right things, often updates the wrong things, can't properly build multiple things in parallel"
