Why do you think this is not such a great idea? This way, if I build in Gradle, I can run/debug from the IDE. Similarly, I can build in the IDE and run from Gradle. The main downside is that the IDE and Gradle may disagree about what needs to be built, making builds sometimes take longer than necessary. For me, this trade-off has been worth it.
Are there downside that I'm unaware of? It's configurable, so I don't mind too much if the default is changed because I can always configure it to work the way I want it to. I'm just curious why you think this could be a problem.
