I feel your pain. If only we could harness programmer frustration into energy, we could stop burning fossil fuel. And don't get me wrong, I have my own long list of gripes with Microsoft and Visual Studio, they're nowhere near perfect. The problem at my current job involves a metric crapton of CMake files that don't have a clear maintainer (big company, anyone forced to touch those files just does the minimum required to get the desired effect) and it's a general hassle to understand what exactly the project settings will be for any given directory. I find the CMake syntax so confusing that I switched to Meson as build system for my personal projects; it's not ideal, but I find it easier to digest. Anyway, I understand your point of view. Have a nice weekend.
