How happy have you been with Meson in complicated projects with multiple directories. Especially where things are complex and different options are used in different places. Make, in spite of all it's craziness would be a good tool if it any sane kind of support for this.

CMake tries hard to to do better, but then introduces its own layers of craziness. So it's fine as long as I am not doing anything unusual, but as soon as I need to understand what is going on, I find a dizzying array of barely working moving parts beneath me.
