A simple makefile is a unicorn

I'd be inclined to agree if the author offered some alternative. Grunt is mentioned in the comments of course, but I have no experience with that.

In a simple C project packaged for Linux, FreeBSD anc Mac OS I seriously think a simple Makefile is possible.

And will continue to think that until I see an alternative that is easy to get going with on those systems.

For a simple project cmake is also very easy to write. Much easier than plain make IMO, as you have only a single layer of abstraction (cmake).

and when using cmake it will also work for android, windows, haiku, etc

Possible? It's everywhere!
