And that was exactly my point, BTW :) The fact that KDE or whoever
else choose to use Cmake does not make Cmake good, as the fact that
90% of free software packages use autohell does not make autohell good
either, as the fact that 90% of the desktop users have windows does
not make windows good either, as the fact that 95% of Linux
distribution have systemd does not make systemd good, as the fact that
95% of the countries around te world have embraced capitalism does not
make capitalism good, and so on, and so forth...

The "mass" argument has never worked with me. Majorities make bad
mistakes, sometimes much worse ones than singles, mainly due to
effects that have nothing to do with rationality.

But I should probably start using the <sarcasm> tag, at some point :)
