That's ok.
CMake is following the changing file formats of all IDEs it supports :-)

That's what the Eclipse project generator in CMake does. It generates
Makefiles and additionally an Eclipse project file for a Makefile-based
project, which uses them.
This project can then be imported in Eclipse.

From my POV, it makes a lot of sense for cmake to generate project files for
Eclipse.
CMake helped me a lot to be able to use XCode or Visual Studio (since I didn't
have to learn how to set up a project in them or how to add files to a
project, etc.), and it does the same for me with Eclipse :-)
