I've been playing with the Xcode generator off and on for the past
month. I found it surprisingly good at handling my projects. The big
thing that is missing for me is that for executables, it currently
only creates flat unix executable targets instead of app bundle
targets even if you specify the MACOSX_BUNDLE target. I haven't had a
chance to see if I could enhance the generator myself. I know they
would really like additional help.
But CMake is great because it makes that whole silly debate about
Makefiles vs IDE, command line vs GUI, etc, a moot point. CMake lets
you decide what you want your build system to be. And if somebody else
doesn't like it, they can generate their own build system from the
same project description.
