The Gradle team seem to come from the school of developers that aggressively break backward compatibility as if it's a best practice. Cynically I always feel like it must give them a bump in consulting revenue each time, because it often feels gratuitous. They literally just seem to rename or shuffle things around for the fun of it. Plugins are especially brittle between versions, so I will spend hours trying to find a magic combo of gradle version, plugin version and java version that will work across a multi-project build.
