I need to take some time and actually get it working on my box (see
the issue I added in GitHub).

One of the things I would love to see it do is grab your dependencies
and create the IntelliJ libraries for you, optional source and Javadoc
would be awesome. It would be similar to the core maven plugin that
way. Hopefully we'll see first class Gradle project support like we
do with Maven:
* let IntelliJ open a Gradle project
* configure the sub-projects as modules
* grab the libraries and configure them for you
* etc.
I know that is much easier said than done, but I hope such things are
on the roadmap for this plugin, it would really go a long way in
helping Gradle become better adopted, and help those clicky-click
users :) (I'm with you Hans, cli FTW)
