This isn't necessarily a problem, particularly if a person is already 
familiar with tool A while being completely unaware that tool B even 
existed.  

Then there is a significant issue with being forced to learn an entirely new 
tool just because there might be a single thing that it might be able to 
handle in a simpler way, and then being forced to deal with a significant 
list of things where the new tool fails to perform.  Unfortunately, this 
appears to be an undistinguishing feature of every automated build system 
that has been released.

There is nothing wrong with this.  In fact, I see it as an extremelly 
valuable feature.  It's a pain in the neck to shoe-horn custom build rules 
to an automated build system which was developed with them as an 
afterthought.

Maybe build-in rules aren't needed, considering Make's static pattern rules.
