I definitely don't think Just will ever unseat Make. Just doesn't have file-based dependencies, so it's not a build system, just a command runner.

As far as unseating Make as a command runner, I think that might just take Just being available in more places, since one of the main advantages of Make that many users cite is that it's available everywhere. Just is already available in a lot of package repos, but not all of them. Finally packaging Just for Debian[0] would help a lot.
