In my experience, it is much better than cmake: Apart from having good and comprehensive introductory documentation, it has a nicely ordered reference and also, it is stable, while cmake is changing, sometimes in backward-incompatible ways, and you find a lot of information which is disconnected and fragmentary and one does not know to which versions it applies. The latter will also, by all experience I have, make it much much harder to maintain and fix cmake projects in the long run. Think in a "modern"C++ code base which is 15 years old and in which every developer tried to include its favorite language constructs.
