Please comment :-) I know Make from old C/C++ times. Therefore, my picture is that it is not very portable and requires for quite many operations the usage of external tools that again differ between the platforms. Basically Makefiles are somehow enhanced shell scripts (Linux/Unix) or batch files (Windows). Currently, at work I deal a lot with Maven, that is a bit too Java -oriented in spite of being capable in principle to build and compile other things too. Another, issue is the XML syntax that's makes editing without tool support very hard. Gradle would be another candidate. I am just began to explore it. It's a bit like Maven with human syntax, but lacks again on lifecycle support that I like with Maven.
