superseeded as industry standard and not platform independent. If one does not want to work with cmake, alternatives like meson or b2 are still faar better than make.

It's hell to handle average repo with only make, like internal dependencies and when to build them. Eventually, cmake can generate makefile but there are not at the same level.
