Same! The fact that Make is pre-installed everywhere and you can create a consistent interface to tasks across projects is a big win.

I wrote a post about that here: https://rosszurowski.com/log/2022/makefiles

No, its not, and Just supports Windows, where that is particularly true.

Make also has a windows version, it just needs to be installed, just like Just.

Okay, but a ton of people are saying “make comes preinstalled on every system” as the reason to choose it over something like Just.

Because, statistically, it is true. Pretty much every POSIX machine under the sun has make available.

GP and GGP were talking about Windows, which is a significant portion of all machines, so I don’t see how you can say that’s statistically true?
