Summary:                    GUI Idea : an "open project" button
Description: 
Here's a common workflow I have : open CMake GUI, configure, generate, then open
windows file exporer, find the directory where I put the build files, double
click on the project file...
I have a feeling that it could be further streamlined simply by adding a "open
project" button on CMake's GUI.
Of course, you could argue that it's irrelevant in quite a few cases (when
there's no IDE associated with the generated file, for example with gcc
makefile), but the button could be displayed only when it's relevant for the
selected generator.
