> Looking at this changeset makes me just hate Gradle so much. There's just so much tooling that I don't understand, and some of it seems pretty low-level. I prefer Maven over Gradle. I know XML sucks, but I think its lifecycle concept is simpler, and the conventions are more concise. The direction these changes are going is fine, though. I'm learning Gradle by reviewing these. Maybe I won't hate it as much as I understand it more. But, I understand Makefiles, and I still hate them... so maybe I still will. 🤷 😺 I'm totally with you on e.g. the unencessity of breaking changes needed to upgrade from 6.x to 7.x and all the migration from `maven` to `maven-publish` are just friction with no obvious gain. on the other hand there are good chances happening in gradle land, e.g. using `.kts` i.e. kotlin which has better tooling and typing support than groovy. Nowadays i don't use maven as much but it's a more mature and popular choice so i'm okay with learning and using either one. currently libthrift uses gradle so be it (unless someone wants to make a chance). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
