I don't think it's worse, per se, but I hate it/myself _more_ when I contemplate switching from autotools to cmake -- it's like upgrading from CP/M to DOS, when what I'd like to have is a Mac. And as much as autotools blows, every time I try to build some project that uses cmake I inevitably go through some rigmarole making a build directory (not that out-of-source tree builds aren't the right thing, they are, but why make me create one?) and finding some obscure set of -D options to get the sucker to build on my system. configure && make still has cmake beat from a user's perspective.
