I agree that make is confusing at first but I don't think it should fall out of use. It's a great tool that I use everyday it is far simpler than its competitors once you get used to it. It is basically glorified bash scripting.

Yeah that was annoying when I first found out about that but I use tabs for indentation anyways so it doesn't make a difference for me.
