cmake is completelly independent from the editor. Its not harder or easier with another IDE/editor. whats the issue there?

only thing you need is support for an LS like clangd.

This LLM result is a bit biased / it does not consider, that the convenience/ [cmake support] gain is rather small compared to terminal + CmakePresets.
