It seems every generation of programmers has
a bunch of people who tries to make a new and
better make, but it is still there while their
projects are long gone.


What strikes me as odd is that one of the reasons people reinvent make is
that it's "too hard" for their programmers to use as-is, while at the same
time expecting those same programmers to master the intricacies of
languages like C++. :-)
