No reference, just a conclusion based on mounting evidence. I can't
remember the last time I saw a new project that chose a build system
other than CMake.  Jetbrains chose CMake as the basis of CLion, their
new flavour of the IntelliJ IDE for C/C++.  Microsoft joined the party
(not as definitive a win as it used to be, but definitely noteworthy).
Boost are putting huge effort into moving to CMake from Boost.Jam.

The little bits all add up to a win.
Just my humble opinion.
