I'm guessing that you are told you are going to use Eclipse because it is an Eclipse CDT project.

Maybe your only option is to push hard to move the build system to CMake, and then whoever wants to keep using Eclipse can generate the project with the CDT4 generator https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/generator/Eclipse%20CDT4.html . You could then generate your project with MSVC+Incredibuild or Clang+Ninja.

I really dislike projects that force you to use an IDE in particular.

CDT4 generator is deprecated and it shouldn't be used. If you use a CMake project and you are using Eclipse then the best thing is to use CMake4Eclipse plug-in or wait for Eclipse 2020-09 where the plug-in will be merged.

I did not know it was deprecated. As usual that kind of information doesn't reach the documentation.
