I've worked with both and while Bazel definetely has a learning curve, mostly because is very different than Maven and Gradle, I actually find it considerably simpler than those two. Maven dependency management is really complex, and I'm tired of dealing with dependency hell. And Gradle doubles down on Maven complexity where you stop having declarative XML config and instead have actual Groovy/Kotlin programs. So, please consider the difference between complex and unfamiliar.
