If you truly never intend to support anything other than UNIX-like systems (autotools actually works rather well on most BSD platforms, as well as being passably usable on OS X and MINIX if you handle them right), then yeah, just use autotools. You're already familiar with it, and there's very little that CMake can do that autotools can't that you're likely to care about if you only intend to build and run on UNIX-like systems.

I assumed the same, It's just that the project I'm currently hired to do requires me to use Cmake for some reason. I created both versions, but still prefer autotools. I really don't understand the hype about Cmake, that is the whole reason for this post; I wanted to hear other people's opinions and experiences.
