What advantage do I get if I use a build system?

CMake is quite powerful, you can do a ton of things. Here is me generating a stringifyer function for an enum type. Here is the actual script that does the work. It's not a lot of code, but it solves something a lot of people just keep staring the committee for.

• cmake-init

  164 1,835 8.1 CMake

  The missing CMake project initializer

You are also missing out on tooling support. Check out the first section of cmake-init's README. VSCode and CLion integration with CMake OOTB with the only configuration being selecting a preset, then on your way you go. With how trivial presets make things you can also hook this up to anything that can call commands, so with vim and emacs you just modify your user preset to export compile commands for autocompletion, then just bind something to invoking cmake with the presets.
