Lukewarm take:

All build systems should be able to generate a image of the build flow graph and show it to you with a single command.

After a build, they should tell you by default where the artefacts are stored on disk at the end of the build log.

Slightly hotter take:

Build systems should have GUIs. The best GUIs would have built in debugging tools.

I would love to come to a project I'm new to and just be able to inspect the build system and understand it without needing to be an expert with the build system first.
