That works until you need to support Visual Studio or Xcode. Then you either maintain their stuff manually too, or you get CMake to generate all three. I don’t love it but it solves the problem it’s meant to solve. The issue is people using it when they don’t need to.
You can build with mingw64 built with msvc and use more or less the same Makefile. As for Xcode… well, there’s not really a good reason to support Mac. On principle I wouldn’t even try

I’m not familiar with either why can’t you use Make with VS or Xcode? Can you not set them up to have whatever build bind call Make ?
Tbh I’m not sure if you can. That’s proprietary IDEs for you.
Xcode implies MacOS, you can use make there too, just beware that some commandline tools take different arguments on BSDs.
