CMake

On and off, over the years, I really tried to like cmake. “It does everything! It does it fast It finds libraries for you!”.

CMake is not special. It is yet another bloated tool that requires way too many hours of reading documentation to find out how best to use it. Just tried to add postgres library libpq to work with my c++ program. The documentation said, oh, just use find library postgresql.

yeah.

If you cannot get a tool to work for you within a reasonable amount of time, get rid of it. Cmake is now off my system and I am not looking back.
