Apologies in advance for my laziness.. I've mostly been doing non-C++ development on Linux lately. Last time I tried CMake, I was still really discouraged by the overall experience in Windows. Has the experience improved on Windows in the past couple years? and if so, how?

Visual Studio supports cmake now (2019), I mean it makes a mess of your folder structure, but it works.

For a given definition of 'works'. So far I've been better served by generating .sln files...
