I like CMake very much, but I'm glad there are other tools to do the
same task out
there even new ones.

Diversity is good because it brings you choice.
What would be Open Source without the freedom of choice?

I'd like to be able to switch from KDE to Gnome to XFCE to
Enlightment.... from time
to time. I may even provide patch to everyone of them.

Moreover if you can afford the freedom to "do it your own way", why
wouldn't you do it ?

That said companies have their own marketing view which may be far away from
my point of view.
E.g. from my side  when you say
"Nokia that prefer to create QtCreator instead of improving KDevelop"
I would answer that "create QtCreator" does not prevent from
"improving KDevelop".
Both project can benefit from one another.
