You should choose mine, obviously. ;)
In all seriousness, Make will probably live as long as C. There
are a *ton* of Makefiles out there that no one wants translate to
a new build system. Part of the reason for that is probably
because they are so friggin' incomprehensible and its not exactly
glamorous work. This is why I'm working on that tool to allow
Button to build existing Makefiles [1]. It may not work 100% of
the time, but it should help a lot with migrating away from Make.
