The Build Tool Hierarchy

The build tool hierarchy according to C++ developers! BSD Make gets a mild "meh" reaction. GNU Make earns a fancy tuxedo upgrade and approving smile. But NMAKE? That's Microsoft's Windows build tool that makes Pooh show his teeth in pure rage. It's the compiler equivalent of stepping on a LEGO while debugging a memory leak at 3AM. The perfect visual representation of why developers would rather rewrite their entire codebase than deal with Visual Studio's native build system.
