Is C/C++ tooling and dependency management still a pain point in 2025?

Coming from modern ecosystems like JavaScript's npm/uv or Rust's Cargo, the experience with C++ build systems and package managers often feels... cumbersome. Tools like vcpkg and Conan exist, but is anyone else still frustrated with the overall workflow? Do we need a simpler, more intuitive approach, or have the existing tools solved these problems for you?
