It seems to be the new standard even for vs projects to use a CMakePresets.json instead of a CMakeSettings.json. In fact, after updating to VS 2026 and opening the CMakeSettings.json I get a deprecation warning saying "[deprecated]" as if its already depricated. Though its still working.
Anyways I think we should still update sometime soon. Another argument in this favor is that the CMakePresets.json is supposed to be platform and IDE independent to configure CMake.
