Cmake has kind of won the popularity contest, but you see so many alternatives popping up, because Cmake is really difficult and slow.
Blessing one build system is only the answer if you've found something that works well for everybody.
Meson is the closest I've seen to maintainable build scripts, speed, and robust builds. But it doesn't have the popularity. Cmake has the popularity but isn't that great in any of the other dimensions.
