I don't know what's typical, regarding developer's reaction on CMake adoption proposal, but as a big fan of CMake, I wouldn't paint it in pink colours only. Thus, I understand, for example, Frank's experience may be very different. Finally, if a software has a build system that is usable and works on all supported platforms, I also understand a team may go for lean approach: don't change it.
