I'd rather everyone use CMake than have to deal with yet another build system. Wouldn't be so bad if build systems could at least agree on the user interface and package registry format.

Not really a fan of Meson but I doubt that that's the case as it is very popular in big OSS projects and distributions aren't throwing a fit.
