Yep, terrible:

I will show how Make hits every one of your complaints:

(sarcasm on)

in file hello.c:

  #include <stdio.h>
  int main(int ac, char **av) { printf("hello\n"); return 0; }

How to compile and run this? We need a build system! Download and install GNU Make.

When that step is complete:

Type in

make hello

and its done. Now, run via ./hello

See, Too much magic (didn't even have a makefile or Makefile), no standard library, Too constricting, cryptic, too basic. And, because you had to install Make, too complicated. Hits every one of your objections.
