Comments and Reviews
I wish I could say that CMake were easy to use. For the casual software developer, it's not. But it is quite versatile & cross-platform, supporting many different programming & scripting languages. And it is very customizable.
I hate CMake! This build system is a forested mess. The DSL is horrible, the documentation is horrendous, and it's very bloated. I had to even make my own build system to avoid this!
Probably one of the worst things ever made, is truly a huge probleme when you need a 460-page book just for build, not to mention online documentation. To put it simply, there's virtually no consistency: you'll hardly ever find the same answer to a problem on all websites. In this case even shell scriping is way faster than this
