Hi,
I just experimented with drush_make on Drush 4.3-dev for a little bit. It's a fantastic tool. Some thoughts:
I already had a drupal install and I only wanted to download a number of modules quick. So I used --no-core in the command.
First I was located in a theme directory. When I used drush make --no-core /home/quickstart/websites/d6theming.make , I got a message that said "Make new site in the current directory? (y/n):" . As a first-time user that threw me off a bit, because I didn't ask to create a new site and especially not in that directory. I did choose 'yes' and it downloaded all the modules in the folder I was in, starting with /sites... Is it possible for drush_make to recognize the current Drupal installation structure (root folder), like you can use drush dl in every folder?
When I specified the specific Drupal root folder, it threw an error saying that the folder already exits. drush make --no-core /home/quickstart/websites/d6theming.make /home/quickstart/websites/d6theming.dev/
So descending to the Drupal root folder and using drush make --no-core /home/quickstart/websites/d6theming.make worked well, and that's what I'll do in the future, but I wanted to point out these few obstacles, that in my mind shouldn't be there.
I'm using version 2.0-dev so these obstacles might be resolved already.
Anyway, these are really minor things. Fantastic 'module' btw. I love it !! :)

Drush make is being merged into drush core (discussed in issue:#1310130: Put drush make in drush core)
This means that the issue queue is also moving. The Drush project has a component called 'Make' for this purpose.
We would like to take this opportunity to leave behind old/obsolete issues, allowing us to focus on a stable make command in core.
If you feel that this issue is still relevant after the move, feel free to re-open and move it to the Drush queue
More information will be posted on the drush_make and drush project pages.
