You like CMake in much the same way people like Visual Basic: it has lots and lots of features and therefore people find it useful.

But, just like VB isn't a good solution for an embedded language, it doesn't mean cmake is a good solution to the general problem of building large codebases.

No, I like CMake because it is better than writing Makefiles manually or using autotools.
