I chose Make in part because the Racket community has make files for projects that were easy to use and adapt to my project. The reality is Make is still the best cross-platform cross-ecosystem build tool. Sure you could use something more tailored to your language or framework. But who has a stack so simple it only has one language or framework in it? Not me, certainly.
