Can't pronounce about the TQC decision, but the qt-project decision is easy: We won't choose a build system with unclear future, with vague declarations of intent by 1 maintainer. Being widespread and resilient to being deprecated by a single company is a huge point in favor of CMake. And to be honest, I would like to see less stuff on TQC's plate and not putting all eggs in the same basket. Will they be here in the next 10 years ? I hope so, but the qt-project should play it a bit more defensive and embrace more 3rdparty solutions where possible to lessen the burden. (Despite hating CMake's syntax myself!)
