Same here, though I have also to concede that breaking the status quo (to quote Jake's tweet) is sometimes a good idea. Teambuilder -- to name another Trolltech project that had nothing to do with qt -- was a couple of orders of magnitude better than the tools that existed at the time (distcc). Icecream/ icecc came about only because TB wasn't open source, but every now and then I miss TB2 features that icecc doesn't have. TB3 would have been even better. Maybe qbs will be another such leapfrog. I can't fault TQtC for trying. But as I said, I agree with Richard and I can't help but feel that the effort could have been turned into making cmake even better, especially considering everyone[*] (including Microsoft!) is using it. [*] for some reason, the other project I work with (IoTivity) chose Scons.
