I couldn't agree more. I must confess that I didn't like the idea of
being forced to use a certain build system, but the experience with
ITK changed my mind. I've been using ITK for the last 5 years without
cmake, and I can tell, it is a pain in the ass. Every new version of
ITK/ubuntu or whatever was a nightmare to recompile it again and find
out the order of the libraries to properly link.
I converted most of my projects to cmake now and I really don't need
to look back again.
