Honestly, I have the opposite opinion. I really don't like it when there are custom bash build scripts. And you have to figure out how they work and what they do. And how to pass additional parameters etc.
If you use Maven for your project, then I expect that if I run `mvn clean install` then it will build the project.
I think that is the whole point of standard build tools: that you can switch projects easily, run the same command and get the same result, and not waste time learning custom scripts for each project.
This is a common problem for programmers in general, not just at build time. Occasionally you will run into a case where the framework you've chosen just doesn't fit. You can try to hammer your need into the framework in some horrific fashion or your can temporarily circumvent it for this one task. Which path you go depends on a lot of factors.
I think FAKE (https://fake.build/), hits an amazing sweet spot for this: standardized, predictable, with no sacrifice of programming/platform power when dealing with builds.
Project to another, just run "build.fsx" with the desired target -- it will self-download necessary tools and packages -- and you'll get a straightforward standard build. If you want to see the logic, just open it up: build scripts are standard F# scripts
Because you're using first-class scripting you get full language power, full component and package management power, full abstraction power, aided by a set of utility methods and tools. At any point things get hairy you can wrap them into a lib, or a full program, with no domain impedance. It's standard code, as learnable as the rest of the F# proj, no voodoo, no black boxes.
Heck, you can also load your project and use its libraries during the build. I find myself often using FAKE components in my main solutions to take advantage of its interop and publishing...
