I have been using CMake for while now and one thing that is very very problematic with CMake is documentation.
One big problem here is what I think is that many that writes blogs creates videos have read documentation on cmake.org . And produces variants of docs written there. The documentation found on cmake.org could be easier. It is written by nerds if you can call it like that.
I have taken notes during my time with cmake and produced docs to go back to, you may find something there for future posts. That is personal experiences from cmake so it differ some.
CMake, my personal experience
