I think a syntax example on the homepage would be a good idea. Also comparison charts for things like cmake, ninja, meson, and bazel. If you have a dependency finding strategy, highlight the pros and cons of that. Basically the only reason states for why I should use this is lua, and that’s not inherently compelling to me for build tooling.

My work uses this and it's slooooooow. Would not recommend.

At my work we use MSBuild and vcpkg. What would a transition from that to XMake be like?

Then you are already using XMake, it's the original codename for MSBuild, still present in the code: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/blob/main/src/MSBuild/XMak... :)

MSBuild is a dotnet based build system. XMake[0] is an independent build system built using mainly c and lua.
