I would say that Make is the most horrible build system I've ever used. 
I guess I have most problem with the makefiles and their syntax. I mean, 
why would I need to specify all the files I want to compile myself. Have 
a look at the Phobos posix makefile for example. You need to specify the 
files more than once, that's even more stupid. DSSS was a good build 
system, you just had to say:

[main.d]

For an executable or

[lib]

For a library. It will then automatically figure out all dependencies.
