Autotools is designed to solve one very important problem: how do you build the GNU tools in the first place if all you have is some obscure Unix from the 1980s. If you already have gnu make, gnu bash, gnu binutils, gnu coreutils, etc. installed then autotools is pointless.
I have yet to find evidence of cmake solving a problem (or even having design), though I guess `ccmake` would be kind of cool if it weren't full of nonsense?
