I don't know what's typical, regarding developer's reaction on CMake adoption
proposal, but as a big fan of CMake, I wouldn't paint it in pink colours only.

Thus, I understand, for example, Frank's experience may be very different.

Finally, if a software has a build system that is usable and works on
all supported
platforms, I also understand a team may go for lean approach: don't change it.
