It is not a secret that lot of people dislike Eclipse. At very least, it is heavy and complicated for young students.
Also it is understandable that ST has invested in CubeIDE heavily, and CubeMX is Java-based, and True Studio is well alive.
So here is a kind of feature request, or proposal... or just thinking aloud...
Can CMakefile (cmakefile.txt) serve as a interchange format among several Eclipse IDEs (3rd party as well) and other non-Eclipse tools?
It looks like it should not be too hard, and advantages are obvious.
CMake format is human friendly and more expressive than makefile.
CMake can build the project by itself (with a provided ARM toolchain) or generate a traditional makefile.
The import part from CMake to Eclipse already exists partially, it is the opensource Eclipse CDT generator of CMake.
