That's all nice. However: (1) the truth is there's no clear modern build 
tool that has "won" over make; oh there's plenty of them, but each has 
its own quirks that makes it tenuous to use; (2) any build system for a 
project of nontrivial size needs a person/team minding it - never saw 
such a thing as it's just all automated and it works; (3) especially if 
the build system is not that familiar, the role of the build czar is all 
the more important.

So the reality is quite a bit more complicated than the shiny city on a 
hill you describe.
