+1 from me. I prefer Gradle for two main reasons:
- Control over how a library's dependencies are exposed ("api" vs 
"implementation", see 
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_library_plugin.html#sec:java_library_configurations_graph)
- build.gradle is a lot simpler and a lot less verbose than pom.xml

Drawback: Maven probably has a lot more plugins.

    For those of us not as familiar with Gradle, what are some of the
    benefits?  Drawbacks?
