I use QMake and it's painful as hell for certain things. If you want to set certain options globally (e.g. where to look for external libraries that you don't want everything to link against), you end up having to include files all over the place just to avoid duplicating things. Building multiple executables is not possible in a single .pro file, so if you've got a folder full of unit tests, which are separate applications, you have to create a .pro file with subdirs as the author here does, and then create another pro file for each test executable.
