Honestly, if the makefile is well written, I will take that any day. Good makefiles are 😙👌.

They are extremely rare, tho...

I guess the solution would be a declarative language that compiles to makefiles. So that people don't have to know the nitty gritty of writing good makefiles, and can just maintain a file of their dependencies and settings...

Why compile to a Makefile? You'd end up with automake gunk all over again. Just use cmake or so, where the declarative language replaces the Makefile entirely
