It's not hard to get a decently modern Python install either. It's like saying "Why do people rely on Python 3.6+ when Python's been around for 22 years now?" Well, because format string literals are a thing, and they're extremely useful, and 3.6 has been around for a while. CMake lets you use generators for any system, including newer build tools like Ninja (another great selling point of Meson). configure & make? There's a reason so few people want to use autotools/autoconf anymore: the syntax is terrible, it doesn't plug well into IDE build systems, and it doesn't play very well with Windows. Also, it's very easy to get a newer version of CMake prebuilt for your system: it's infinitely backwards compatible, so there's no reason not to.Īs for why not use. Most projects don't rely on truly bleeding edge versions either: Many projects I know may rely on CMake 3.13 or higher, which has been out for 3 years now. CMake has better functionality that becomes available with newer versions.
