Cmake is just another hair ball, with its arcane syntax and incomprehensible errors. Plus, as mentioned it’s way less friendly to final users who have to compile the code from a tarball without knowing the intricacies of the build system. There is pretty much no advantage in going from autotools to cmake. If there is a jump to make, it’s to something better like meson.

- kergonath 5y agoYes, the project indicator is nice, good point. Personally I haven’t really noticed any big difference in building time, parallel make seems good enough for my uses.
