--- Comment #6 from Daniel Engberg <diizzy@FreeBSD.org> ---
It's much easier to maintain, debug and in many cases also improves build t=
ime
quite dramatically especially when you have many cores like ARM. What you a=
lso
see is that many projects (especially audio/video/desktop related ones) are
moving away from GNU Autotools to already mentioned CMake or Meson and in c=
ase
of CMake an additional benefit are the cmake files in lib/cmake that aren't
available using Autotools.

I recognize that it can be perceived as a "downgrade" if you're looking at
single port in terms of build time but past that there are a lot of benefits
and usually more consistent than Autotools (less hacks/patching in Makefile=
).
Additionally since many users (ports) will pull in CMake anyway it's not an
issue if you look at the bigger picture.
