Many of these are tools which download code dependencies from package repositories and integrate them into a codebase or build. Make doesn’t do that, even configure doesn’t do that.

Days like today? As someone who is often working on machines with no network access, I vastly prefer build and deployment processes that don't need to go download crap.
