IntelliJ has a dependency browser GUI that can edit your Maven/Gradle builds, but yes you're right, the CLI tooling from other ecosystems is nicer. Unfortunately the lack of robustness isn't. Just today I was debugging a sudden failure of a Python script because someone released a new version of a dependency of a dependency of a dependency which for some reason just fails to install on Ubuntu 20 without a proper error message. In the JVM world there's no such thing as a failure to install a library, because there's no install process at all, and you don't need lockfiles or any of these other hacks to avoid stuff breaking.
