I am absolutely the opposite. I've avoided CMake for a long time since many projects use autotools and because of its reputation as a painful thing to learn. ;)

But actually, one of the points made in the Calcote book really stuck with me: Build tools are not just about developer convenience; they're also about the user's convenience. It's more work on my end, but my users (who, admittedly, are on UNIX-likes) know to type:

  ./configure
  make
From their standpoint, it just works as expected.
