Me too. Two years ago, I did some testing with CMake and it's great. But there were a few problems when writing a CMakeLists.txt. Also, at this time there were no way of detecting an installed GTK 2.0 environment. One had to write the code manually. I think(hope) this is fixed in the meantime. But there is still another problem with CMake: it is another dependency for Geany. Compared to autotools, you need to install cmake in order to build Geany. Autotools doesn't require to install anything except a shell interpreter for the configure script. This is the main reason why I don't work on CMake support although I really like it.
scons has the same problem.
