CMake works fine... It's not perfect, but everything else is much, much worse. Not cross platform in any meaningful sense of the word (autotools), not mature (meson, qbs), derelict (wav, scons)...

Meson is fine. A huge set of core components in the Linux ecosystem is relying on it now.

Hey, autotools supports every platform under the sun! (Except for those used by 98% of computer users.)

I'd wager that Autotools works quite well under Windows, now that the latter has that "native" Linux subsystem.

Windows Subsystem for Linux is apparently only supported on Windows 10, which is only around a third of Windows users today (based on Steam's OS stats), so that would still exclude most people.

Autotools doesn't support Android?
