Well, let me tell it that way, the build tool is not set in stone. But... I see no need currently to even think about a new build tool. Autoconf/automake serves what it is used for and it does it good. It would take many work to change to other one. - From the fact that the man power is very limited, this is a big NO. On the other hand, I never heard of meson. Nor do I know (without duckduckgoing) what "JetBrais CLion" is. IF there would be a need for other build tool, I would more vote for something widely used (ok, cmake is not that seldom). In the end, the chances would be pretty high that I would end with automake/autoconf again when sorting the pro and cons. So, for a new project, that would be something to think about. For a existing project, there has to be a pretty good reason to switch the build environment to something other with new bugs and new inadequateness. Am Do den 17.

No more to say. That is the most valid point here.
