For simple applications, with perhaps a half dozen or so modules with a few thousand lines of code, maybe that's true. But for bigger programs, I want a MAKE facility and scripts. For example, Think C on the Mac has a fairly smooth build process, but it works only if all steps in the build are C compiles. If the build includes tools that create source code (such as a parser generator), Think C can't help. I want make for such builds.
