...but I hate that you can practically only use it with IntelliJ. Trying to use it with just Gradle and vscode is such a pain and maybe even impossible to get anything more than basic syntax highlighting. That is all.

I just hate using Gradle with it. Or at all.

10 minutes after migrating from Maven to Gradle...

"Wow, I can do the same I did with Maven with such a small configuration and a few lines of code".

2 months later....

"Wtf is broken!!? Wtf is going on?"

Gradle only exists for legal reasons, so maven doesn't have a monopoly.

Gradle is fantastic, but there is this mantra you have to chant while tinkering with it:

I hate Gradle, I hate Gradle, I hate Gradle, I hate Gradle, I hate Gradle

But once you get it to do whatever you want it's way more powerful than Maven, since it's actual code. Also you will never get me to voluntarily define my project structure in XML.

Yes, but at the end there should be a single all lowercase "i love gradle"
