I will say with well-defined projects you can turn it over to ide developers and they can turn on and off options and generate release and debug builds in the gui without having to become experts.

But yeah, figuring out what linker options were generated or even how to version a project takes a lot of digging into the bowels of cmake or a couple laps through the documentation.
