Yes, cmake has it's deficiencies. for me and my projects (both CPU+GPU 
projects on all major platforms), they are outweighed by its advantages.

But I'd have to disagree to your windows 10 argument. My feeling is that 
the operation of Windows 7 currently outnumbers Windows 10 by far. Of 
course, this will change, but the question is when.
