I think you're overreacting to a difference of opinion here.  I've had
bad experiences with automake and while I have used it (and would
probably use it if I were making an effort to conform to GNU coding 
standards) I don't see why it's worth bothering.

Mostly the proper reason is that I don't see the easy things as being
any easier with automake and the hard things leave you right back with
make but working through an additional layer of abstraction trying to
filling in the gaps.  Obviously, you don't see it that way.
