Just my 2 cents worth: I had been using SCons for nearly 2 years until last
week, when we decided to port all our projects to CMake.
We had a lot of customized modules for SCons, and maintaining them started
to consume too much of our time and turn things too complex for external
users, so we thought we would give CMake a chance.
As awkward as CMake's syntax is, it has *dramatically* simplified our build
scripts and our build system/servers as a whole. Our customized modules
changed from hundred-lines-of-code Python scripts to few-lines-of-code CMake
macros. It took two days to port everything, but it was quite worth it.
I am quite confident CMake could turn things much simpler for the core
developers, and much easier for the users.
If you are willing to give it a try, I can help. Once a developer has ported
the build script, it is also very easy for the other developers to follow.
