I use that as well, but the problem is that appears
to be the only choice and some developers (although very few, of
course :-) ) don't use emacs.

Seriously, though I wonder if something like uncrustify (which
currently has many powerful features to beautify C, C++, C#, D, Java
and Pawn) could be adapted to provide a standalone CMake code
beautifier.  We use uncrustify to keep PLplot C, C++, D, and Java code
beautified, and it works great for those so I would welcome an
extension of uncrustify to also beautify CMake code (although I don't
have time to work on such an uncrustify extension myself).
