Why Use Make
I imagine many of Mike's points would be addressed just as well by Just or most any other task runner... but I thought his main point of "Makefile as documentation" was valuable.
After reading this way back in 2015 I decided to give it a try for a not-code-related task: downloading a book from the internet archive, copying out all the images, and running some adjustments and conversions on them with ImageMagick:

It was fairly ridiculous but works well and I learned a lot.

Why Use Make
I've been working on a tool called Knit (https://github.com/zyedidia/knit) that I think is similar to what you are looking for. Essentially, a Knitfile is a Lua program with Make's declarative rule syntax baked in. It is like Make (with some additional changes inspired by Plan9 mk), but where Make's custom scripting language is replaced with Lua. It's still in progress (I'm currently using it in some projects, and then will likely make some more changes based on my experiences), but I hope to release a stable version in the next few months. If you or others also have feedback, please let me know!
