Kind of, but it also exacerbates one of the problems with C++ build systems which is there are so many and none of them are the build system. On one hand this is desirable from the perspective that it avoids monoculture. But it's a bad thing from the perspective of a new programmer in that it causes a lot of confusion and a form of "choice paralysis", where programmers become overwhelmed by options and choose nothing out of a fear of making the wrong choice.
