For quite a while we maintained vcproj's for EXR -
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,

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.
