then I'll stay with CMake, otherwise I'll try ninja.

You'll still be using cmake.

cmake is a meta build system: it relies on something else to actually instruct compilers and friends. On most *nix systems it defaults to GNU make, on windows it can create msvc or mingw (which is what you use, I get?), and so on. Ninja is comparable to those latter tools, rather than cmake, and it happens to be cross platform.
