+1, if I can grok it I usually end up creating a new project from scratch, just to get rid of the CMake stuff so the IDE does not lead a parallel life and does what *I* want it to do.

This matches exactly my own experiences with CMake. The disgusting MSVC project files that it generates make me always run away screaming: the results are utterly useless for our purposes. Then I spend a minute and create a tiny tidy project file from scratch which does the very same and is usable in our environment. Using Boost-provided well-made CMake configuration files make sense for me when it comes to finding problems in a Boost library testcase or so. This would be much easier now with the newly introduced 'open from CMake' feature in the VS2017 ide into which I have integrated all compiler versions (past and present) of my interest. Ciao Dani
