BuildSystem where build scripts are written in C++
You might want to look at https://github.com/SoftwareNetwork/sw , they too write build scripts in c++ and there is a comparison section in documentation with differend build systems.

cgen: another declarative CMake configuration generator
Been using https://cmkr.build/ for a while now, its great and also declarative.

Best practice for cpp projects using CMake
I would like to counter with a project I’ve been working on: https://cmkr.build. Unfortunately writing good CMake is extremely repetitive and there is definitely room for a generator that has sane defaults.

How Visual Studio Became Unusable to Me
You are trying to use it the wrong way it seems, the point of CMakeLists.txt is that you only maintain that and nothing else. If you have changes in there then it will re-generate the project for you when it starts building. Adding files via IDE is not supported and is not really the point, there used to be a time where I primarily worked with VS solutions but the more I dove into the open source space the more it became clear that its the worst way of doing it. You just have to get used to a different workflow, the benefit is that your project can be in theory now compiled on all sorts of systems and not just with VS. If CMake is too much to handle perhaps give https://cmkr.build/ a try, it hides a lot of the CMake madness behind its toml specification, been using it for a while now, its great.

What about a CMake transpiler?
https://cmkr.build/ its pretty straight forward and been using it for some time now, can only highly recommend it.

What are you working on lately?
I’ve been working on cmkr, a modern build system based on CMake and TOML.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sw and cmkr you can also consider the following projects:
