Well, for the record, rake is significantly less hateful than make,  
but yeah, they're marginally similar in concept.

Having heavily abused make in my time, I'd far prefer to abuse rake,  
and given the choice between accomplishing a given task in either  
tool, I'd take rake any day of the week, thanks.

In fact, in general, rake is not only low on hate, it's somewhat  
inspiring in forcing you to think about Ruby a bit differently.
