But the main reason I have problems with it is that it's often impenetrable and unredictable, and historically that kind of thing has a tendency to spawn replacements which are no better. Knowing that the cool kids all use Gradle now isn't particularly compelling (to me) on its own.

It's an actual negative for me.

I just know that Chad had been toying with doing the installer with it, and I was really focused on that aspect of things, not the build side.
