I very much disagree. The current build system is much slower with a ton of boilerplate that is difficult to maintain and make cross platform. Are we building an RTOS or reinventing the modern build tools? Infact I have pull requests unmerged because the hacks we have in place break and I have very little interest in tacking on even more hacks when we could just not worry about it with cmake. I would encourage those that thing this complicates things to actually look at the pull requests for cmake and see how much cleaner it is. --Brennan > >
