I'm not interested in Visual Studio personally, but from reading the mailing list and bug updates, where there is design discussion about those generators, I think you have the wrong impression there. As you are new here, I guess you have not been aware of those design discussions. The suggestion to put everything in the generator name is the exact opposite direction to where the cmake design is going. You're not likely to have success turning that around just by suggesting it, and without being involved in (or even aware of) previous discussions. Being new, you need to build merit in order to participate in a meritocracy. I recommend reading/searching the mailing list archives or bug tracker before making suggestions or conclusions about the code or design.
