You mean you type "mvn" instead of "ant" ? I agree te keys are closer together on my keyboard, so it could indeed be easier. Personally, I did have a first hand experience with Maven, and I think it's horrible (you have no clue what it is doing, error reporting is bad, and basically, you have to think and act the tool's way). I disagree with having two separate build systems, there's no guarantee of equivalence.
