I do like it :-P CMake can generate not only Makefiles and ninja files, but also project files for IDEs (Visual Studio, XCode, Eclipse). With the addition of "server mode" 2 or 3 years ago or so now also a tight integration with IDEs is possible. I think QtCreator and/or KDevelop make use of this. So, when using cmake the developer is free to chose whether he wants to use simply an editor and make/ninja, or a full IDE.
