The only feature that vanilla Make doesn’t have over this is solid Windows support.
I’ve evaluated a ton of these tools for CI/CD processes and common task management. So far I have found that Make is the best solution for task management unless you need strong Windows support. If you want to go crazy, you can use Autotools but that’s really only for builds not tasks. I get it; it’s cool to reinvent the wheel with a new feature that makes one thing a little bit easier.
I agree. The only one that was close for me is Just. It is just Makefiles but without all the baggage.
