I agree with this. As a cross platform (ie, Windows + OSX + Linux) person who enjoys Visual Studio (XCode less so) I need more than make.
My own experience is with gyp and ninja which is used by the Chromium team (http://martine.github.io/ninja/) which they use to build Windows, OSX, Linux, Android (and maybe iOS?)
Of course for personal projects I'll probably never notice the speed difference but for bigger ones Ninja is FAST.
