What's better for robotics Cmake or Autotools ?

The title pretty much explains it. I recently watched CodingJesus video on the "C++ Wretch Build" (Like from Elden Ring) aka the build that will give you the least assitance to start out with but open up a lot of possibilities. I am very new to C++ and Robotics (just started with Arduino, Breadboard etc) In his video he detailed autotools was the best for getting "cracked" as a C++ developer. I want to be a robotics electrical engineer and I am aware that maybe some of his suggestions for this wretch build were maybe specific to developers.I asked chatgpt and google and the AI given answer was CMake was overwhelmingly better but I saw a lot of debate on reddit.


Context: This is his suggested "build"🌑
