Qt creator is a very decent C++ IDE. Only had two quirks with it so far over the years when developing desktop apps:
-changes in UI would not end up in compiled binary, had to manually delete some cached files
-you have to be careful with project paths because chances are that Build&Run functionality won't be able to find the binary to run, extremely annoying

Haven't tested CMake integration yet but I should in the near future, time to ditch qmake.

How does QML compare to GtkBuilder and XAML?

Have you considered QBS?

IIRC the QtCreator manual says CMake support is poor because it offers little to no support for IDEs.

Thats changed with CMake 3.7, it now offers a Communication-Channel for IDEs, and QtCreator is AFAIK the first that support it.

Btw, the qbsprojectmanager plugin doesnt compile under Debian Stretch (needs to be enabled with QBS_INSTALL_DIR=/usr).
Not that I use this plugin but I tried to create a deb package and it fails because of this

cmake integration is the most important milestone in this release

How does QML compare to GtkBuilder and XAML?

It's very different. QML is a complete programming language in which you can use arbitrary javascript expressions to do reactive data binding. It's more akin to Vue.js components or JSX.

It is not up to build systems to support IDEs, it is up to IDEs to support build systems. Nobody wants build systems that force them into using particular IDEs.
