That's just a matter of taste. The problem with makefiles is that you have to remember all the commands by heart (or look into a reference). When you have a UI that displays the settings, well, you just have to fill the one you want to. And they are grouped by category which makes things easier. I much prefer this compared to makefiles.

It looks complicated but it's not: the reason is that everything is grouped into categories/sub-categories. What would you prefer: have a loooooong list of 200 entries or having everything grouped in categories ("Linker", "C/C++", ...) ?
