Why would you learn Maven AND Gradle? Pick one.

  Ahaha, if it were that simple...

    Concrete example: I know gradle, and pretty well at that. I had to learn the basics of maven to develop a Jenkins plugin (at work). Developing jenkins plugins for a long time required using maven. Now there's the option for using gradle, but my recollection was that it was a sub-par experience.

      Afaict, everything just relies on Maven and its packages as the backbone. At least, after any sort of Java-dev activity I risk discovering 1.5 GB of Maven's package cache in my home dir.

        The maven package format is the defacto standard in the java world. Luckily gradle consumes and publishes in that format too.

  Likely because they work on multiple products and don't have the time or authority to move them all to one standard.
