Actually XML is the smaler problem. Maven forces you to use a predifened structure for your project. The more some project deviates from Maven's assumptions about how it should be organized, the more complicated the pom file becomes. For each medium sized project I've seen it looks completely uncomprehendable. Usually there was only one member in the team who can touch it.

- gozzoo 6y ago> Ever managed to understand Gradle complex files? Well, there is a funny annecdote I can share. In some presentation a guy was showing how you can implemnent some non trivial functionality for a Android app. He was very proud to demonstrate how it can be implemented in just few lines of code. Then he showed casually just for few sec the gradle file for the demo app, which was about 50 lines. We were joking how simple and easy things can be as long you are gradle magician.
