PS: I'm really talking about GMake :)
Gmake != make.
I know, that's why I clarified.
That I would say is the #1 problem with make. It has 200 different
incompatible dialects.
I don't find that problematic at all, just use the standard for simple
things or GMake for more complex stuff (it has some features that can be
a life saver). I don't find using GMake problematic because is available
virtually everywhere, is almost a de facto standard.
A further problem with gmake is that there are important differences
between even minor releases, and each computer seems to have a different
one.
I'm well fluent with gmake and I'd agree with Leandro, except the
portability argument pretty much invalidates the entire point.
