I've been compiling some libraries and projects on my raspberry pi, and I've been having to invoke meson and ninja quite a bit. If nothing else, they've been getting it right on the first try more often than the cmake && make projects. That may be biased though, with newer/more active projects using newer build systems supporting newer hardware.
Anyways, it's been enough that I'm looking into it, but still working (hacking? copy/pasting?) in make
