Last I checked the meson Qt5 plugin was totally broken, and missing a _lot_ of features that Qbs (and QMake) have, but wouldn't it be better to concentrate the effort on improving it? Meson integration in Qt Creator is being done as a GSoC project this year.

> it hasn't replaced qmake, that might be the intention.
Of course that it hasn't replaced QMake, we all knew that.
The punchline is that one user wrote "qmake, cmake, meson, qbs... https://xkcd.com/927" but
a) https://xkcd.com/927 is wrongly applied there because Qbs is about improving (a lot) an existing product and replacing it (is not about adding another competing standard).
b) "Qbs pre-dates meson by at least a year..." but the former user wrote as if Qbs was the later product.Last edited by Nth_man; 29 March 2018, 09:15 AM.

So legacy or not, let the kids play with Qbs and Meson, and let the actual developers use their "legacy" tools.
Me? I still use pure "legacy" Makefiles on *nix and CMake when I have to deal with little shits like Microsoft's C++ compiler and Android.
