That's unfortunate indeed. I wish I could inspire them as to how cool a properly-done build system can be.

That's all nice. However: (1) the truth is there's no clear modern build tool that has "won" over make; oh there's plenty of them, but each has its own quirks that makes it tenuous to use; (2) any build system for a project of nontrivial size needs a person/team minding it - never saw such a thing as it's just all automated and it works; (3) especially if the build system is not that familiar, the role of the build czar is all the more important.
So the reality is quite a bit more complicated than the shiny city on a hill you describe.
