Disagree, maven to gradle is a downgrade. Yes, xml is boring, but it's still incredible simple, almost just a verbose package.json. And it's convention over configuration, if you do stuff like everyone else, it just works. Gradle however, is a dsl in a language almost no java devs use. All gradle files are different, so copying an example from somewhere else probably won't work in your context etc.
