Yes, cmake is difficult to handle sometimes. But some people (like
me) never create visual studio solutions, because we don't own VS.
WinSDK + cmake (NMake target) is totally Ok for me.
Cmake is here, it does its job, just needs a few fixes.
I do not really like the idea of a permanent windows branch (if that
was what Piotr was saying). I am ok with a windows branch collecting
everything for merge into master.

- that works but you end up needing to keep old copies of
visual studio around to make sure that it builds for 2008,
2010, 2012, ...., and then you need to run regressions on
every variant to make sure nothing broke. It gets really time
consuming. I think the same argument would hold for xcodeproj
files.
As far as I know, the same argument is applied when using CMake:
at some point you have to compile the source and use Visual.
As I see it, no maintainer today is able to check all versions of
the compilers, with or without CMake.
CMake solves nothing but adds a layer of complexity because
configuring is neither trivial nor intuitive.
