Autotools recommendations

In visual studio there is XML based build system that is not human editable and to edit build parameters you should go into several windows and tool options instead of writing single line and then after some releases they might change tool option location and because of that many learning resources turned to be unusable in few years (worst of all vs compiler doesn’t have CLI at all).

In my experience there are working CLI tools, have you seen MSBuild?
