If you're talking about a FOSS component that random people will have to rebuild: Yes, absolutely. (Go listen to the Linux From Scratch community complain about CMake!)
If you're talking about a proprietary project that will only be distributed as binaries, or maybe even not distributed externally at all, why not pick the best tool for the job?
