I've used make for 15 years and never once needed automake. The company I'm currently at uses straight make without problems for a 500 kLOC code base of multiple languages, 3rd-party code, code generators, and unit tests. Our make code totals 1000 lines.

I've seen plenty of messes using scons and ant, more so than I've seen with make. Make is a solid tool.

Across multiple operating systems (unix and windows)? Does it fetch and install 3rd party dependencies? Can a noob maintain the makefile without pulling their hair out?
