I fail to understand what point you tried to make. There are already plenty of Make implementations for Windows. If you think that installing a third party tool like Task is ok, I don't see how doing the same with a Make implementation would exclude it as a valid alternative.

I don't think using Task is better either. I was just replying to OP saying to just use unix tools. Unix tools aren't cross platform so they aren't a good build tool either.

I just pointed out there are Make implementations for Windows.

And I'm not even mentioning WSL or MinGW.

I don't know what else to say.
