The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Makefiles
Yes, I used autotools[0]. It's definitely hairier than plain make, but you get a lot of useful features on top of it. There's thousands of examples all over the internet so it's easy to reference them.
I like the elegance of pure make, and do use it when appropriate, but I wouldn't really want to reimplement the things autotools does myself in it.

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Makefiles
Honestly, I only find Makefiles useful when I have a tiny C/C++ project and need stuff just to compile quickly and easily without the overhead of a real build system.
For literally everything else, I found myself using it more as a task runner - and Make doesn't do a great job at it. You end up mixing Bash and Make variables, string interpolation, and it becomes really messy, really fast. Not to mention the footguns associated with Make.
I found bake (https://github.com/hyperupcall/bake) to suit my needs (disclaimer: I wrote it). It's literally just a Bash script with all the boilerplate taken care of you - what a task runner is meant to be imo

Basalt: The rock-solid Bash package manager
Nope, I didn't add that in bakefiles because it seemed like supporting that in a declarative way would be overkill. Very simple dependencies can just be ran manually just as you think they could (calling `task.dev`), but I intentionally didn't want to bake in support for longer ones (at least not right now)
