My answer was about "CMake developers are aware of the inferior quality of the Xcode generator, but they say that there is little interest from the Xcode users."

In the context of LLVM, I don't know if Xcode user uses cmake or autoconf. Personally I'm using autoconf because actually cmake build fails when trying to build llvm/clang/libc++, and that's what I need to 
do.
I know Chandler is working on libc++/compiler_rt integration in cmake, so I will try again once he is done.
