Thanks Bill. With every update of Visual Studio 2017 (2017.3 is the latest as of this moment), we're striving to improve the experience.
For a shorter summary of the advantages of using Visual Studio for CMake projects, you can also check the deep-link https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2017/07/05/7-reasons-to-move-your-cpp-code-to-visual-studio-2017/#openfolder . We do have a few more things in the pipeline as we speak, so stay tuned on our blog in the next weeks. Jean-Michaël, we're also always listening for feedback so if you think there are things missing in the experience today, do let us know! Hopefully we can pleasantly surprise you in the near future 😊 (if you prefer, you can DM me on twitter @mluparu or send me email at <twitterhandle>@microsoft.com).

They continue to improve this, so with new versions of VS, it should continue to get better. -Bill -- Powered by https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=www.kitware.com&data=02%7C01%7Cmluparu%40microsoft.com%7Cf94f340e9a5d4796458a08d4e6503bd5%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636386679731177870&sdata=cobIkEWZyrS9zrReufMU5MA7CoBiqNXJA1%2BCR6p6hoQ%3D&reserved=0 Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cmake.org%2FWiki%2FCMake_FAQ&data=02%7C01%7Cmluparu%40microsoft.com%7Cf94f340e9a5d4796458a08d4e6503bd5%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636386679731177870&sdata=thV47vz%2BivPyXgeNXAejvVp5vtfCz6zm76QYbAlEoOQ%3D&reserved=0 Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
