IDEs being able to fire up cmake-gui (via a plugin or whatever). The thing is that with many IDEs (QT creator, KDevelop4, Eclipse [one of the 2 ways of using it] ) you don't invoke an IDE-specific generator, but generate plain makefiles, so if your feature request is implemented, many IDEs would be unable to take advantage of it. Btw, KDevelop4 already implements something similar, but does not fire up cmake-gui explicitly, but a (less-flexible) custom widget.
