Interesting, I thought that "make" was like multiplication tables, something you learn very early one as it's a super simple tool. Also I assumed it was part of any unix 101 class, together with bash and command line stuff. But probably it shows my age. Most people don't have any reason to learn these tools nowadays.

That is likely the case for anyone formally educated in C. If I needed to learn make I would, but I use cmake because I develop on multiple platforms.
