Sorry, but maven is an order of magnitude better than gradle. In most cases it just works and is blazing fast compared with the alternatives.

When Gradle advocates tell it is faster than Maven, they usually let it off that Maven doesn't require a backgroud daemon eating away GBs to be fast.

Why is it a problem exactly?

> eating away GBs to be fast.

Make something fast, cheap, stable; choose 2.

Gradle is none of those three.
