It is the best way, by far.  There are lots of attempts to make 
GUI driven project managers with complex underlying files.  
They say "it doesn't matter how complex it is under the hood, 
it's all hidden by the GUI".  I suppose if you want a GUI, it 
might make sense to hide make, but I much prefer point tools.

GUI's make simple tasks simple and complex tasks impossible.

All engineers should be taught how to use "make" as part of the 
freshman programming course.
