Life is and will always be better writing your own Makefiles. It's literally so easy. I do not get the distaste. Cmake is arcane magic. Bazel is practically written in runes. Makefile is a just a glorified build script, but where you don't have to use a bunch of if statements to avoid building everything each time.
Manual makefiles don't scale though and you end up needing some other bootstrap framework pretty quick.
How the heck does a Makefile not scale??? That's all it does!
