At work, we use cmake; i've never seen a technology with so little 'traction'; I know one guy who is good with cmake all the other (including me) avoid touching this thing as much as possible! Sigh, I remember debugging a complex makefile generation issue (it took me 3 days, two guys before me failed) and it didn't make me hate the make tool, I just wished it had better tracing/debugging but cmake that's a different story..
