I would agree with you in that CMake isn't perfect and it does have a lot of issues that I've seen in the few hours I've spent learning it. It has some issues with portability and it also is pretty unreadable/verbose in some cases. However, considering alternatives I would say it could be worse. Boost.Build (BJam) is absolutely one of the most unreadable languages I've seen. I refuse to use it just because of that fact. I also have yet to find another build system that generates visual studio project files like CMake does. It would be nice to see alternatives for comparison though.
