Offense is the best defense? Gradle is usually lagging behind, being unable to build projects with the latest JDK a week after it was released because of some asm bytecode dependency bullshit.
I have an unreasonable hatred of gradle and its imperative, choose-your-own-language build files, every buildfile being structured differently.
Hateful.
Not even talking about how slow it is, no I don't want the garbage demon running somewhere.

There is only one reason to use Gradle, the poor souls that have to put up with Android development requirements, and have fun with updating their projects, every single time there are DSL changes.

As someone who uses gradle largely out of inertia, I'm curious what you would pick as a better alternative.

Maven as always.
I don't suffer from XML allergy, and Gradle is Ant all over again.
Worse, because it relies on a slow scripting language, or having to go through Kotlin, plus a background deamon.
