For GTK+ master, yes: we switched to Meson exclusively, and dropped all other build systems. For GTK+ stable branches, we only use Autotools. For other dependent libraries — GLib, GdkPixbuf, Pango — we added Meson in parallel with Autotools, but the long term plan is to drop the Autotools build. > What will happen for those of us who need the MSVC debugger?

It is one of the reasons why we decided to migrate to it.
