I currently find known C/C++ build systems and package managers lacking. Maybe this is caused by the high bar by Cargo. Its nice to see something similar to Cargo in C/C++ ecosystem. vcpkg and conan are a pain in the ass in my opinion

Yup, Cargo is a good baseline to compare to. I don't get the CMake arguments since:

xmake isn't trying to replace CMake
xmake can create CMake files from an xmake project
xmake can consume CMake files
xmake can use CMake packages
you can use xmake packages in a CMake project
a lot of people quite obviously don't like CMake

It's working with the ecosystem, not against and is good for C++ especially since people are comparing C++ building with tools like Cargo now.
