Then again, for every project you have to then setup vcpkg and cmake. I thoroughly enjoy that Rust comes with a build system, package manager and test framework out-of-the-box. But it is good that the situation with C++ is getting better.

Yep no arguments there. It's not perfect, but it's nowhere near as bad as the article makes it out to be. Also, you only set up a project once, but it's compiled and iterated on many many more times. Having some initial friction isn't ideal but it's better to solve for the real problems which are maintaining a project.
