I guess I need to clarify what I meant about "Human Factors Ambiguity" a bit.
If a menu selection says "compile" then "compile" is what it should be trying to do, not "make". This is simply a matter if naming things so that they set expectations properly and eliminate the need to read documentation up front.
Put aside the ability to customize things. That is necessary due to the diversity of development environments, etc.
If I see a command like "compile" in a menu, I expect it to call the compiler for me, not attempt to "make" my project.
