A Makefile really sucks at displaying outputs/logs of commands, especially when there are lots of commands and when they run concurrently. It also really sucks at communicating what the overall progress is: how many jobs have finished, how many left, how much time has elapsed.

Heck make can make all this much better by just prepending each output line with some colored prefix and timestamp. But make hasn't changed in 30 years and likely won't change.

People are proud that it "solves" things since 1976. Yes if your requirements never changed since 1976. I'm not holding by breath that it will deliver basic usability-enhancing features that one can reasonably expect nowadays.
