Make is fairly simple. What makes it the complex beast it is - IMO - when used in conjunction with autotools. :-)
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. -- /Jacob Carlborg
