There are too many different environments for any build system to cover them all well while still being straightforward. There will never be a "good" one that everybody uses, although you can often find a more streamlined one for you to use on your own projects or develop enough expertise in one of the big general ones that its weirdness becomes invisible. And so yeah, CMake sucks, just like all the other general purpose ones. But the criticisms in this article are very superficial. I was expecting more technical and insightful.
