"Familiar" is not a property of any system. It's a relation between a system and a user.
Some Linux build systems maybe be more familiar to some users, but will be less familiar to others. When picking a build system, you can't just look at the system itself and declare it familiar or not.
It's not even enough to look at the total number of users familiar with some thing. Hindi is one of the most familiar languages in the world, but you're probably gonna have a bad time if you use it for the menu in a cafe in rural Texas.
You have to look at your actual cohort of users (and potential future users) and see what's familiar to them. This is one of the key reasons why usability is actually a deeply hard problem. So much of usability hinges on familiarity, but familiarity is a human-specific highly variable property.
