Thank you for this concise talk!

I wish popular oss things just would came with a simple makefile. Literally are not picking libraries or tools where I spot cmake if there is any alternative to them...
Key take-away though is "user builds vs developer builds". That is already a good thing to do even if your project is small!

[@skaravos]

instead of "./configure && make" try "cmake -S . -B _build && cmake --build _build"
If the project has setup their CMake correctly it'll #JustWork on every platform.
