This concerns creating makefile-based projects. I always use simple mode and really enjoy it. But it lacks the ability to pass a parameter to configure script. In some situations it's quite necessary (misc. --with*, --enable*, --disable* options) I believe switching to advance mode is too much for this. Ideally, IDE could parse ./configure --help, and present it to user somehow.
