The advantages of CMake vs. QMake are not in the syntax, but in the
expressiveness. There are lots of things you just cannot do with QMake. It
is barely enough for Qt itself, but only because Qt has a "configure"
wrapper and because it simply added custom hardcoded commands to QMake
itself where it needed them (e.g., for .pc file generation).
This does not apply for CMake vs. QBS though, the differences are of a
different nature there.
