    I really dislike CMake. The additional WinSDK components often cause issues when moved to other computers, just like Microsoft's garbage Visual Studio. It's a pain to port around. This ruins QT's original features. Why even use it.

        CMake can be frustrating, especially when dealing with Windows SDK dependencies across different machines. Its main purpose is to standardize builds and manage cross-platform projects, which helps Qt stay portable in the long run. If portability is key, consider using Qt’s online installer or prebuilt packages to avoid some of the CMake headaches.
