I'd love to, but what is the status of QtCreator defaulting to using CMake?
While I tend to my own dev tools to edit my code, I use QtCreator initially for
the templated setup (eg Ubuntu/Simple Touch UI, Ubuntu/QML Extension Library +
Tabbed Touch UI, etc). I have appreciated that it also sets up the build for me
(though it stills needs twiddling to work correctly for compiled code[1]). If it
can default to CMake that would be fantastic-- if not, can we find a way through
some tool to take advantage of the templates in QtC but that sets up the build
and everything else the way it should be?
