The top 5 reasons why KDE switched to cmake:
5.) autotools doesn't support MSVC
4.) scons didn't provide a good "configure" framework
3.) both autotools and scons had problems on OSX
2.) we got very good support from the cmake developers

and the number one reason:
1.) only a handful of people understood the KDE autotools system and 
 even these people didn't like it and wrote their own (unsermake)

and of course, cmake (basically) just worked (we found some bugs in the 
process, which were fixed then).
