After completing porting several small- and medium-scale projects from auto-tools to cmake, I can only confirm that (in my experience) cmake rocks indeed. Simple and consistent language made it possible for me to easily write feature testing macros, I was never able to figure out how to properly accomplish this with autoconf. The only slight problem is lack of complete documentation, I guess for projects with complicated setups one would have to order "Mastering CMake" book to get most from the tool. But this seems like fair game to me (mine copy of book is on its way), and on the other side cmake developers (and users too) are *very* responsive on cmake mailing list, so for lots of questions one could get the clarification this way.
