Gah. Because I want to drop a metric ton of python code into my own source tree just to build. (gnulib is bad enough...)

Personally I like make. I understand it. I've used it for something like 20 years now. If there are problem domains it doesn't work for, they aren't problem domains I encounter. (Like so much of Linux software in the past 5 years or so, I find myself saying "this seems like an interesting way to solve a problem I simply don't have".)

Each their own poison. Personally I don't like them either, but pretending it's autoconf or curl|sh is an oversimplification.
